Debugging my Python extensions (win32)

[Giorgenes Gelatti]

Compile your module in debug mode. If you have the problem "pythonxx_d.lib not 
found" do the following:
In every #include <Python.h> you have in your file change it to:
#ifdef _DEBUG
#include <Python.h>
#define _DEBUG
#else
#include <Python.h>
#endif

Well, with your dll linked ok, goto projects/settings menu.
1) In the debug options/Executable for debug section select the python executable 
(eg. c:\python22\python.exe
2) In working directory put the python directory (eg. c:\python22)

Now, just press F5. It will run the python interpreter.
There type "import yourmodule".
This way I can debug my modules easily.

Hope this helps.
