Issue http://bugs.python.org/issue13183 raises the point that the step command of pdb is broken. This issue is 6 months old. A patch and test case have been proposed.

Other pdb commands are also broken for the same reason (no trace function setup in the targeted caller frame). A new http://bugs.python.org/issue14728 has been submitted with a proposed patch for these commands and the corresponding test cases. The patch removes a while loop from the fast path, and that should also provide an improvement of the performance of Pdb.
