Well indeed - you have configured the debugger plugin to drop you into 
the debugger when a test fails or has an error. You have also switched 
the checker on that generates tests that fail if your code fails pep8 or 
pyflakes checking. Therefore the debugger will enter the test failures 
caused by the checker...

The best thing is probably to switch the checker off for runs where you 
want the debugger enabled... I guess in the future the debugger plugin 
could become aware of the checker plugin and not trigger on checker 
generated tests. This seems like dodgy ground to me though. (Perhaps the 
checker could raise a particular kind of exception that the debugger 
avoids?)
