Is there a way to debug a python script using the python4delphi components?

Question

I want to add scripting capabilities to my application and I just came across python4delphi http://code.google.com/p/python4delphi/, which seems to be stable. At first sight it looks very easy to use on the developers side, but I couldn't find a way to debug a script. Would be great if I could embed the IDLE IDE in my application, I just have no idea how to do it.

Is there a easy way to add debugging capabilities with python4delphi? Should I use other script engines like pascalScript (seems to have been discontinued)?

Edit: After having a look at PySctipt and pdb I realized that what I am looking is more like a visual editor with embedded debugging and the capability to read python4delphi custom modules (the ones where I export my delphi objects. Being a python noob I have no idea how p4d does this). I am probably asking too much, but would be great to find an implementation of that and not having to code it all from scratch.

Python is really a great language. But if you need to embed script, with debug, in a Delphi application you should considere Pascal scripting, which is more available in Delphi. I use the excellent PascalScipt, in the exemples you will see editor, debugger and a lot of other functions.
