It may be that the run() call starts anew process -- sort of looks like it.
You can verify by printing out os.getpid() here and in the code you're
trying to debug.  Wing doesn't automagically debug-instrument new processes
(because it can't) so you may need to either restructure things to not start
a new process or import wingdbstub in the sub-process, which is described
here: http://wingware.com/doc/debug/debugging-externally-launched-code

Hope that helps.
