No. To debug mod_python applications you need to enable passive debugging. All 
that is written down in the mod_python.pdf document in the eric4 distro.

If the path to the scripts are identical on the machine running the IDE and 
the machine running the debug client, you don't need it. If they are 
different, that does the trick to locate the local sources.

Just install it into a path accessible via the Python path. A suitable place 
would be under site-packages.
