[wingide-users] Debugger and embedded interpreter

Sorry about continuing questions. BTW, so far
I am very favorably impressed with Wing, and will
likely recommend that we use it for our
development.

I am having what appears to me to be intermittent
behaviour of the IDE being able to connect to
the debugger when an embedded interpreter
is being used.

I followed instructions in the docs for
"Debugging Externally Initiated Processes", and
have wingdbstub.py installed, and import wingdbstub
in an early place in the code. I have seen this
work fine, and then see the debugger not connect.

Here is the sequence of events, I think:
1) Initially, it worked fine, after getting the above
stuff setup
2) Then, it stopped connecting (that is, no breakpoints
hit and "Debugger:Ready and listening" never changed)
3) I found, via "Source:Show anaylsis stats", that
I had the Python Path incorrectly set. Fixed that.
4) Now debugger connected ok again.
5) Time passes, meetings happen, now debugger wont connect
again. Problem in 3) doesnt exist this time. I cant seem
to find anything that will get it to work again. Even tried
re-booting (this is being run on Win2000).

In both cases of debugger not connecting, I have set
kSilent=0 in wingdbstub, and see that an exception is being
thrown, to whit:

wingdbg - 2003/04/15 16:32:06 - ABOUT TO INIT
wingdbg - 2003/04/15 16:32:06 - SET UP C CORE
wingdbg - 2003/04/15 16:32:06 - setting __fClient to
<netserver.CNetworkServer instance at 02E3944C>
wingdbg - 2003/04/15 16:32:07 - Could not connect to debug client
wingdbg - 2003/04/15 16:32:07 - Exception is: socket.error(10061,
'Connection refused')
wingdbg - 2003/04/15 16:32:07 - netserver CLOSECHANNEL
wingdbg - 2003/04/15 16:32:07 - Starting non-client run

Any suggestions?
