Hi All,

I'm switching to python from perl, and like the language a ton, but I
find pdb and pydb to be vastly inferior debuggers to the perl version.

In particular, I've grown very used to stepping into arbitrary
functions interactively.  For instance, in perl you can do this:

casqa1:~> perl -de 42

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.28
Editor support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.

main::(-e:1):   42
  DB<1> sub foo {return 42}



  DB<2> s foo()
main::((eval 7)[/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/perl5db.pl:628]:3):
3:      foo();


  DB<<3>> s
main::foo((eval 6)[/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/perl5db.pl:628]:2):
2:      sub foo {return 42};
  DB<<3>>



Which is quite awesome; I don't have to restart the program if I want
to step through a given function call with a different set of values.

In your python shell:

import somelib
import pdb
pdb.runcall(somelib.somefunc, 42, foo='bar')


Also and IIRC, ipython (an alternative and more featurefull python shell) has some interesting stuff wrt/ pdb integration.
