rpdb2 without winpdb

rpdb2 can be used by dropping the rpdb2.py script in the root directory of the remote project then placing the

import rpdb2; rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger('asdf',fAllowRemote=True)

command in the running service. You can then attach to the service when it debugs by using the rpdb2.py command as well, but via the command line with

python -c "import rpdb2; rpdb2.main()"

Then from there do

  > password "asdf"

 Password is set to: "asdf"

 > attach
