If you only want to debug a single thread, such as the a background 
thread, you can use a similar trick with Wing and import wingdbstub in 
the thread to be debugged.  Using wingdbstub is the mechanism of having 
Chandler connect back to Wing.  This is essentially how our Zope 2 
support works so I'm confident that it will work, but debugging will be 
limited to the single thread.

As far as why general threading hasn't been implemented, it's mainly a 
question of finding time to do it.  Some of Wing's internal code needs 
to be changed and there might be a few things that need to be worked 
around in the interpreter.  More and more people are asking for this, 
but it won't be in 2.1 which is very close to going out the door as a 
beta release.  Possibly, we can add some basic support after 2.1 is out.
