The library documentation page for pdb shows running pdb as a script using the command python -m pdb Shouldn't that be python3 -m pdb ?

On Windows, 3.x has so far been installed as python.exe, not python3.exe, so this change is not correct for Windows users. So please consider reverting this until there is a consistent change across platforms.

I assume the poor Windows users can figure out what they need to do :)
