Do this:

Debugging = 0
def remote_debug():
	global Debugging
	Debugging = 1

When a variable is used within a function definition, it is
global as long as you don't assign to it. If you assign to it,
Python assumes you want it to be local, and you must explicitly
declare it to be global. I forget why, but there is a reason
that this is a good thing.

   Well, not yet anyway. I mean, the bodies are still decomposing.
