[PyKDE] Debugging Threads in Eric

[Andrew Bushnell]

the thread implementation in Eric currently auto traces all threads. 
What you could do, though is:

launch eric using the non-threaded client, this will only debug your 
main thread.

using the latest eric, you could make use of the new breakpoint command 
so in the thread you want to single set, you could put the following code:

import sys
if hasattr(sys, "breakpoint"):
     sys.breakpoint()

when the sys.breakpoint triggers, you are in the debugger and can single 
step that thread..

Detlev can correct me if I misspoke at all.

Hope this helps.
