[Dev] Debugging Chandler threads with WingIDE?

[Bryan Stearns]

I do all my remote debugging using wingdebugstub (and our --wing 
option); it works fine for debugging the main (UI) thread. John's right: 
if you add your own import of wingdbstub from a different thread (and 
don't use --wing!), you'll be debugging that thread instead of the main one.

I've heard (on the wing-users mailing list) that it's possible to debug 
more than one thread simultaneously by importing wingdbstub from more 
than one thread, with multiple instances of Wing listening on more than 
one port (you'd have to condition the settings in wingdbstub, or have 
multiple wingdbstub.py's with different settings). I've never tried 
this, though.
