New submission from Pinku Surana:

I am using Python as a hosted scripting runtime for a product. All the user 
scripts are stored in a database. I use "compile" and "exec" to run the 
scripts. I'd like to use PDB to debug scripts. Unfortunately, PDB makes a call 
to linecache, which calls tokenize.open assuming the code is in a file. I'd 
like to pass in a function that takes a filename and returns the source code in 
a string. 

At the very least, moving the call to "linecache.getline" into a separate 
method in PDB ("self.get_lines") would allow me to override that method with my 
own.
