Can't connect to the flow when using as library

1. Is this actual guide to run in Debug mode? https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/examples/complex/remote_debug.py

Sorry, I should have been more clear. To debug mitmdump (or mitmproxy/mitmweb) in PyCharm, you have to pick venv/bin/mitmdump-script.py (venv/Scripts/mitmdump-script.py on Windows) as the file to run/debug.

3. Unfortunately, I need to check request\response, modify response (status code, headers, body), drop connection, simulate lags etc. Looks like I can’t do this through Mitmweb’s API.

Mitmproxy’s functionality is a bit limited when it comes to simulating lagging (you have to use the concurrent decorator for that, and that’s more of a workaround), but other than that all those should be possible.

2. I mean a little different thing (may be I still don’t understand correctly how it all works):I can access Mitmproxy API only when load my code as inline script (mitmdump -s script.py)?

You can also run mitmproxy in a separate thread of your application. https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/mitmproxy/tools/main.py should give you some hints on how to do that.
