  Description     : Sources for the debugger used in PyDev, PyCharm and VSCode
Python

In general, the debugger backend should NOT be installed separately if you're
using an IDE which already bundles it (such as PyDev or PyCharm).

It is however available in PyPi so that it can be installed for doing remote
debugging with pip -- so, when debugging a process which runs in another
machine, it's possible to pip install pydevd and in the code use
pydevd.settrace(host='10.1.1.1') to connect the debugger backend to the
debugger UI running in the IDE (whereas previously the sources had to be
manually copied from the IDE installation).

Its useful for remote debugging.
I plan to maintain it within DPMT.
