I'm not sure if VS 2008 supports python debugging, but I know that 2015 does, just have to be sure that the python features are installed. Then you can create a python-based project, then add the existing .py file to it, and "Step Into" Run like a C++ file. The only tricky part is setting up the python environment correctly, but the variables you need are all in the run_gr.bat file. A simpler but cruder option is the old "add print 'made to here' lines everywhere" and let us know where it's dying. Unfortunately I suspect it will be on "tb.start()" which won't provide much of a smoking gun.
