I’ve been experiencing similar issues getting my Slicer Python Debug connection to PyCharm up and running.
Windows 10 Enterprise 19045.5131
Slicer 5.6.2
PyCharm 2024.3 (Pro)
I had previously installed PyCharm 2024.2.4 and encountered the .egg issue. I also found the stackoverflow thread on extracting- but the path wath still pointed to _attach_proces… under the .egg dir. I uninstalled .2.4 and installed 2024.3.
In PyCharm I configured the remote debugger
and I successfully built the pydev-pycharm within pycharm terminal as instructed:
I also noticed in my extension wizard created test module, the vtk and slicer imports showed an error- on a whim I pip import vtk:
The import pycharm warnings went away…
I updated my .egg path in the 5.6.2 pydebug
Launch the remote debugger
Try to Connect to PyCharm debugger within Slicer… and the process just hangs…
