Breakpoints for python debugging with roslaunch?

edit

Hi

Coming from a matlab background, Im very found of using breakpoints for debugging...

I know this can be done for python, but it doesn't seem to work when launching my node with roslaunch. If I use rosrun (or roslaunch with screen output) my node is flooded with sensor data, which overwrites anything I would write as part of my breakpoint debugging. Does anyone have any suggestions?
