With the debugger ON, I hit F5 and get this.
'Expected an indent block'
You saw that in a Syntax Error box.
I wouldn't say that's debugging anything.
Quite the opposite. Idle checks syntax before running the code since
running the code would produce the same error anyway.

When you click OK on the box, the editor window is display with the
error marked in red background. In this case, that should be 'print'
with red background. If you indent print and run again, you should, if
running 3.x, see 'Missing parenthesis...' and another red marking.
