sys does not seem to have a breakpoint function:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.breakpoint()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'breakpoint'
>>> from sys import breakpoint
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: cannot import name breakpoint

So I just start runzope from eric3 and set a breakpoint in the file. I can 
then take eric3 to debug?

Thanks,
