Remotely debug python code on pi using Eclipse in windows

Here is how you can do to remote debug python scripts on pi from eclipse (windows):

1. Install eclipse and pydev
2. Install pydevd on pi using pip install pydevd

3. In eclipse, create a new python project and add below lines at starting of the code:

   import sys;sys.path.append(<path to pydevd>)
   import pydevd;pydevd.settrace(<ip address of windows>, port=5678)
   

4. Write your python code and copy the same python file on pi.
5. Open debug perspective and start the pydevd debugger by clicking on pydev from menu options.
6. Now execute python code on pi.
7. It will automatically stop after settrace in eclipse.
8. From now onwards you can step into your code and debug it.

Happy debugging :)

Just found a video of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHw4-xGeIlw&index=2&list=PLWw98q-Xe7iHQGQtppR14i7lm6-wJMjwf

Update:

You dont need to include the path to pydevd,so below lines should also work fine:

import sys
import pydevd;pydevd.settrace(<ip address of windows>, port=5678)
