It's not documented, and the PythonIDE has been deprecated for  
years.  Don't bother with it, because it's disappearing in the  
release anyway since it has no hope of being Intel compatible.

I believe there's a debugger in IDLE, and the one in Wing IDE is  
pretty good (but that's a commercial X11 app).  Normally I just use  
pdb, which is strictly console based.
