Does anyone have any pointers for using Eclipse + PyDev for debugging python scripts executed from ArcCatalog?  I'm new to GIS (though not to Python) and I'm trying to help a colleague with a script.

As background, I'm using ArcGIS 10.0, with the built-in python.  I have the paths set for editor + debugger.  When I choose "Debug" ArcGIS launches Eclipse with the correct file, and the message window says that it's running.  However I don't see how to execute to a breakpoint, etc.

Do I need to set up a workspace for each .py script I'm using?  Is there a tutorial around for doing this?
