Usally you want "Step Over" otherwise you wind up stepping through 
the source code for the Python library, which while educational, 
doesn't get your problem solved!!

Only use Step when you specifically want to step into a function 
you have written yourself, or you think may be faulty.

THe "Step Out of" button is useful too when you get it wrong and 
find yourself staring at strange code...
