Start remote debugging from within script #113

Closed joonty closed 10 years ago

I like how it's possible to start the debugger within a script, using the debugger method. However, it seems that it's only possible to debug in-line this way.

One feature that would be incredibly useful is to be able to start remote debugging in this way, but I don't know whether this is even possible/practical on a technical level. E.g. starting the remote debugger with remote_debugger(host, port).

Is this at all feasible?

Thanks
