What to set PYTHONBREAKPOINT to for remote debugging when passing arguments like "host" and "term_size"?

In Remote debugging section in the docs there is no information on what to set PYTHONBREAKPOINT to when using remote debugging. Specifically how to set its value when one wants to call set_trace() passing arguments like host and term_size?

You can set the term size with PUDB_TERM_SIZE. https://documen.tician.de/pudb/starting.html#remote-debugging and the host with PUDB_RDB_HOST (not documented, but you can see here

pudb/pudb/remote.py

Lines 54 to 56 in 920414f

	PUDB_RDB_HOST = os.environ.get("PUDB_RDB_HOST") or "127.0.0.1"
	PUDB_RDB_PORT = int(os.environ.get("PUDB_RDB_PORT") or default_port)
	PUDB_RDB_REVERSE = bool(os.environ.get("PUDB_RDB_REVERSE"))

). PYTHONPBREAKPOINT can only be set to a function name, so there's no way to specify arguments with it.

Thanks for information. I think this could be clearly stated in the docs so to not leave the reader wondering.

Maybe it would be useful to be able to set this in the config as well?

Sounds as a useful feature.
