Hi @artas728,

I thought that will be a great idea to have documentation regarding how to use this plugin but as usual, I haven't enough time to do it. Sorry, my bad 😔

Basically, the only thing you should do is install a plugin in PyCharm, that's all. It will replace default PyCharm debugger with custom one which supports await syntax in evaluate expression and conditional breakpoints (It will patch default asyncio loop using nest-asyncio library in order to have ability reenter to running event loop).

Example

I will show you a quick example, how PyCharm will behave in different cases with and without this plugin.

For instance, we have async code like this:

async def foo(n):
    return n * 2


async def bar():
    for i in range(10):
        n = await foo(I) # At this line we have breakpoint
        print(n)

After we reach a breakpoint, we will open evaluate expression window.

Evaluate expression without plugin

Evaluate expression with installed plugin

Notes

Also, you can use await syntax in Watchers window and for conditional breakpoints.
