Good news for everyone who uses gevent!
Since the last PyCharm 2.6 EAP our visual debugger is able to deal with gevent monkey-patched code.
To enable it just edit python/helpers/pydev/pydevd_constants.py in PyCharm installation and set the constant SUPPORT_GEVENT=True
Your feedback is welcome as always!
Update: In recent versions of PyCharm, the option has moved to the main settings dialog. You can enable it under Settings | Python Debugger | Gevent compatible debugging.
This helped me out a lot. Thanks!
Any plans to do it in a non-hackish (like in Settings) way in the future?
This is great. We’ve been using this a ton!
Having trouble getting remote debugging with gevent working though. Is this supported? (I can connect but breakpoints aren’t being hit.)
Thanks!

I become a Jetbrains clenit past year, buying the Personal License for PyCharm 1.0, but my license will expire next month in October, 28.I’ve to buy a new license for the version 2.0, if the final release occur after the expiration of my license or I’ll be called to renew my license? Sorry, but I really don’t know how is the process to continue to getting support for PyCharm.Thanks in advance.
Setting SUPPORT_GEVENT = True raises
Exception KeyError: KeyError(4332526160,) in ignored
while debugging. The problem is attached to importing threading module before monkey patching. My platform is PyCharm 2.7.3 build #129.782

Those who face the same problem, please confirm.
Hi Hann,
thanks for sharing the link!
PyCharm’s debugger uses threading module internally, but the problem can be solved, I’ve create an issue regarding the problem http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-10054
I am also having an issue where i can connect but breakpoints are not being hit. I set
GEVENT_SUPPORT on the client side and enabled gevent debugging on the server side. But no breakpoints.
We are having the same exact problem. Anyone resolve it?
It is SUPPORT_GEVENT = True instead of GEVENT_SUPPORT.
I added a little bit more of code into a github project to make easier debugging using .env files like http://12factor.net/ suggests. Here is the code:
pycharm-helper
This still isn’t working for me. My behavior is slightly bizarre – the breakpoint is hit, but no variables load and no thread/stack information loads, and all the step buttons stay grayed out. The debugger just says “Connected” and never changes state. So frustrating right now. I’m using 4.5.x and I have enabled “Gevent compatible debugging” in settings with no luck.
Please file a bug to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/PY
in pycharm 2.6.1.2
my solution works
cd /Applications/PyCharm CE.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/_pydevd_bundle
vi pydevd_constants.py
under import gevent add one line: SUPPORT_GEVENT = True
try:
SUPPORT_GEVENT = os.getenv(‘GEVENT_SUPPORT’, ‘False’) == ‘True’
try:
import gevent
SUPPORT_GEVENT = True #add this line
except:
SUPPORT_GEVENT = False
except:
# Jython 2.1 doesn’t accept that construct
SUPPORT_GEVENT = False
