       pydevd - Script to start pydevd debugger

SYNOPSIS

       pydevd --port N [--client hostname | --server] [option ...] --file executable

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  runs the pydevd debugger on top of another Python script, making it ready to be attached to
       for remote debugging.  It is typically used by connecting from an IDE, such PyDev or PyCharm,  or  called
