How to step into Python stantandard library function?

[F-I-D-O]

How can I use PTVS to step from python code to python standard library function? Currently, the debugger just steps over, instead of into.

I tried to add the PythonDeveloper key to the registry in order to enable the Show Native Python Frames and Use Python Stepping options according to #2657, but it has no effect, i.e., the context menu in Locals -> Python only contains two other options.

If I remember correctly, the registry key is only picked up when PTVS is loaded, not live during a debug session - might it be that?

What do you mean by "when PTVS is loaded"? I've tried to restart Visual Studio after registry modification with no effect...

My apologies for a belated response - yes, it would only get picked up when VS is restarted.

If that wasn't the problem, then perhaps you were setting the entries for 32-bit apps? Since VS is now 64-bit I believe the registry paths have changed accordingly.
