Ensure you download and install the ActiveState debug libs from:

ftp://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/etc/

Edit setup.py and uncomment the lines:

#                            extra_compile_args=["/DOS_NT", "/DMT", "/DCASE_INSENSITIVE"],
#                            extra_link_args=["/NODEFAULTLIB:libcmt"],

Ensure you have deleted any build results in build/temp.win32-2.3

Run "python_d setup.py bdist_dumb"

Change to directory where built, e.g.

\build\lib.win32-2.3

Rename P4Client.pyd to P4Client_d.pyd

Run your script in that directory ensuring it is in the path to pick up the local copies before any others.

Using MSVC you can then start debugging python_d.exe in that directory. Depending on how you do it you
may want to add as an extra DLL p4client_d.pyd.

Set breakpoints in P4Clientmodule.cc and you should be away!
