Am struggling to debug the ‘rds’ module using PyCharm, which is executing locally on my OS X machine.

Have gone through a handful of guides, trying to emulate their suggestions for remote debugging on vagrant machines locally, without success.

Is there something like a youtube video showing how to attach to the module and step-through the execution locally?
