Good choice ;)

It isn't possible, because there no debugger (plugin) available.
There is/was a debugger planned and even written, but not released until
now, because I think, the project admin is still very busy with other 
things not related to this project.

Meanwhile you could also try:
On Windows: Hap Debugger (looks neat, (like Visual C++ debugger,
  but the development has ceased).
Boa Constructor: (I haven't tried it out for a long time).
Winpdb: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpdb/
  which looks *very* promising and is in active development.
