Hi, sorry I didn't answer your question directly. Yes, at this time, the
TCL debugging component can *only* be licensed by purchasing the Komodo
IDE. In the future there may be other options but it is still too soon
to tell. Also, there is a tcl debugger available in our Tcl Dev Kit
however, that too carries a cost of $245 USD.

There is debugging that is built in to tcl itself however, that is
probably not enough for what you need. You may check out our free
ActiveTcl distribution at:
