pycharm_debug

A module to connect a Python interpreter to a running PyCharm remote debugging server.

Tested in DCC Applications;

• Maya
• Motionbuilder
• 3D Studio Max
• Blender
• Houdini
• Cascadeur

Usage

1. Determine an available port number ie : 7520
2. Start a remote debug configuration in PyCharm : link
3. Run the following in the target Python interpreter :

import pycharm_debug
pycharm_debug.start(port=7520)
# True

If the pydevd module is not yet discoverable for import, the latest PyCharm install is used instead.
This convenience allows developers to frequently update PyCharm without needing to re-add the new install location for pydevd.

Functions

pycharm_debug.start(port=7200, host='localhost')

Requirements

This module requires the pydevd module, which is part of the PyCharm installation.
If not already available, it will attempt to automatically locate and import the appropriate pydevd module based on the installed PyCharm versions.

Compatibility

This module has been tested on Windows. Support for other operating systems may be added in the future.
