"""

This script allows you to import, start and hook a DebugServer when
an uncaught exception occurs.

Once the DebugServer has started, you may connect to it via 
Tools->Attach to debugger

To use, fix path_to_boa to point to your Boa installation, copy it anywhere
on your sys.path (site-packages is recommended) and import this module.

You may consider importing this module in sitecustomize.py (create it if needed)
if you use it often.
