99% of the time I use a debugger I use pdb.settrace(). The pm() stuff is typically useful for debugging small, simple programs only -- complex programs likely hide the exception somewhere (after logging it) so there's nothing for pdb.pm() to look at. I think Barry is wisely focusing on just the ability to quickly and programmatically insert a breakpoint.
Thanks Guido, that’s my thinking exactly. pdb isn’t going away of course, so those less common use cases are still always available.
Cheers, -Barry
