Ok I've recently stumbed upon similar problem. I wasn't able to apply @dudklein solution (I get I/O Errors while debugger was trying to take input - ipdb, pdb etc.)

I used remote python debbuger - winpdb and it's embedded debugging.

1. install winpdb in Your virtualenv

   pip install winpdb
   

2. import and run embedded debugger in Your code:

   import rpdb2
   rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger('pass')
   

3. run gunicorn with --timeout argument

   gunicorn -t 3600 env:application
   

4. run proper view using browser eg. http://127.0.0.1:8000/your-view/

5. connect to embedded debugger using winpdb:

   winpdb -a /path/to/django/app/views.py
   

   It will prompt You for a password (use one You set in Your code, in my example it is 'pass') and run nice GUI with debugger.

6. if You need tutorial for winpdb - here You are.
