ItemDescription
Attach to subprocess automatically while debuggingIf this checkbox is selected, PyCharm Edu will automatically attach all subprocesses of the process being debugged. Thus, if the parent process has subprocesses, their breakpoints will always work.
Collect run-time types information for code insightIf this checkbox is selected, the types of function calls are preserved during debugging, and passed to the type checker.
Clear cachesClick this button to remove information about the types of arguments, collected at run time.
Gevent compatibleIf this checkbox is selected, the debugger will be compatible with the Gevent-monkeypatched code.
PyQt compatibleIf PyQt is installed on the interpreter, but is not imported in the application code, some import errors may occur. Unchecking this option fixes these errors.

If you have multiple PyQt backends, installed on your interpreter, you have to select the PyQt backend from the drop-down list. By default, the Auto option is enabled, which means that the backend first found will be used.
