IronPython Remote Debugging with PTVS

Question

I have successfully implemented IronPython in my C # -Application. I save all my scripts in a database and load them when they are needed. Now I want to debug my Python code with PTVS. But always, when I try to connect to a remote debugger with my application, visual studio says what I should use ptvsd.enable_attach().

• I thought that if I turn on Debug mode for my Python-Engine, that would be enough.
• If I need to import ptvsd, how can I import scripts ( ini , main , ...), should I put them also in my database?

I can’t figure it out and tried a lot, but nothing works.

EDIT : I could figure out how to use ptvsd, I have to "enable" the ptvsd module:

//copied from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Python Tools for Visual Studio\2.0

string dir = Path.GetDirectoryName("C:\\Support\\Modules\\ptvsd");
ICollection<string> paths = myScriptEngine.GetSearchPaths();

if (dir != null && dir != "")
{
    paths.Add(dir);
}
else
{
    paths.Add(Environment.CurrentDirectory);
}

But now I get an error message in os.py:

global name statvfs_result not defined

in lines:

_copy_reg.pickle(statvfs_result, _pickle_statvfs_result,
    _make_statvfs_result)

EDIT 2 . It seems I can ignore the error message with a global name. But now I get the following message:

IronPython must be started with the -X: Tracing and -X: Frames options to support remote PTVS debugging.

EDIT 3 : I solved the error with trace and frames using the following code:

        Dictionary<string, object> options = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        options["Debug"] = true;
        options["Tracing"] = true;
        options["Frames"] = true;
        myScriptEngine = Python.CreateEngine(options);

But now I have the following problem: I can’t connect the visual studio to my application, I always get the following error message:

Python "localhost: 5678". , ptvsd.enable_attach() -
