@jackie_w: my guess is that you want to use an IDE-based debugger so you can set breakpoints, inspect objects, and the like. I have never found a way to do something like this, but I confess I haven't looked very hard. My guess is that the only way you might succeed is to run stuff using calibre-debug from inside the IDE. Exactly how you accomplish that is a mystery.
I just use test code snippets and print statements. If needed I stick the print statements in the middle of calibre code so I can see intermediate results. I have even from time to time changed the base startup code so that it runs what I want when starting the gui (stuff in gui2/ui.py). Given that there is no compilation or link time penalty, this actually works out to be quite practical.
