Sorry to sound harsh, I do not consider manually stepping through a program a costeffective way of debugging. Writting asserts, instrumentisation, automatic debuggers and tracers are usually much better spent money. Consider how complicated it is to apply gdb or pdb say to a CGI program, running in an embedded chroot environment? Actually, for many things, python -i is more then enough to test and debug code interactivly. Consider writing a settrace function, that catches any data and control flow you might be interested.
