This is more of a what if-ish question I guess. I use pdb fairly regularly, I'm just looking to extend my debugging toolkit. I saw an article recently about how perl has the sh -x type functionality and I was curious if anything like that was possible in python. Not entirely sure how it would make my life better, but it seems intriguing. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
