[Dev] Wing IDE debugging problem

[Donn Denman]

Ken,

Thanks for the details.  I've had similar problems on the Mac, and the 
Wing folks might be right that the python build/version is the problem.

I normally run Chandler from the command line on Mac, because it's so 
much faster.  You can also pass a -wing parameter to bring up wing and 
debug that process when it hits a breakpoint.  I just tried to do this 
with the release build of chandler and I got an error that makes sense:
     Error: Cannot run a debug process with optimized python because
     Error: this omits necessary debug information from byte code.
However I can do the same thing on the PC without this problem.  I 
don't know why the two platforms are different in this regard.
Next, I tried to run the debug version of Chandler from the command 
line and got a different error, that appears to be related to our 
recent upgrade to wxWidgets 2.5.3.
So it looks like we can't debug on the Mac right now.  Maybe someone 
more familiar with the build can help us figure out what's going wrong.
