Does your Windows C++ program have a working stdin/stdout/stderr,
i.e. kind of a console? Then you could insert

import pdb
pdb.set_trace()

at a position in your embedded scripts where you want debugging to
start. If your C++ program doesn't have a console then perhaps you
can provide one with a Win32 call? Just guessing here.
