Wing does include non-Python-mainloop support for pyQt, which is the
extra support that should enable pausing and setting or editing
breakpoints while the program is free-running.  If that's not working,
debugging should still work as long as you don't try to pause or
alter breakpoints while the debug process is running (i.e., not stopped
at a bp or exception).

In any case, this shouldn't be impossible and has worked in the past but
there might be something odd going on that's new since we wrote our pyQt
support.  Could you send the exact version info for the pyQt code you're
using to bugs@wingide.com?

Thanks,
