title: Python: Is it possible to debug with breakpoints across modules in Spyder?
body: <p>I use the ipython debugger interactively in Spyder. I need to debug with breakpoints across modules i.e. I'd like the debugger to step into a function that is contained within a particular .py file which isn't the .py file I start the debugger on.</p>
  
  <p>At the moment, I can't seem to make this work. The debugger only 'sees' the breakpoints (which I manually add before running the debugger) in the current module. But I can't have every function in this module because it'll grow too large and it's not good practise. For testing, I really need to step into these smaller, generic functions that I hope to place in other modules.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
