In my experiences with debugging in Visual Python, I have only seen it
fail silently when a Python exception is thrown.  Is this
normal/expected behavior?  I would expect that it would at least print a
warning for me, and even better, would stop execution so that I could
examine what's going on (like WingIDE for example).  I feel like I'm
missing something obvious, but searches through the docs have not
yielded anything useful.  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks,
