[python-win32] Python 2.6: Windows Scripting Host (WSH) compatible debugger

yep, many thanks for that hint. Tried it with the following result:

...\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client>python pyscript.py --debug
Registered: Python (for debugging)


...Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client>python -m win32traceutil

I'm a little bit confused - registering for debugging was possible, but
the debug extensions aren't found. Just as a hint: I didn't use the standard
installation pathes.


Many thanks and greetings
Udo
