I am using VisualPython (VP) 1.8.2 Build 2090.

I have written a mult-threaded Python app and I am trying to debug it
with VP. My problem is that breakpoints are ignored. I know that this
problem is not unique to VP - breakpoints seem to be ignored similarly
in the PythonWin IDE.

I derived my class from threading.Thread in a very standard way. I've
seen many scripts that look like my class:

class CMyThread(threading.Thread):

     def __init__(self, anObjectINeed)
          self._stopevent = threading.Event()
          self._sleepperiod = 1.0
          threading.Thread.__init__(self, name='Test')

     def run(self):
     print "I made it!\n"
     while not self._stopevent.isSet():
          print "This is the main activity of this thread\n"
          self._stopevent.wait(self._sleepperiod)


Is there any other way than deriving my class from threading.Thread to
create a few threads in which I can place breakpoints that work with
VP?

Thanks!

Michael.
