Antonio Cuni demoed some *great* improvements to the pdb module at 
EuroPython. A project called pdb++

http://codespeak.net/svn/user/antocuni/hack/pdb.py

Among its improvements it includes the ability to debug through 
generator frames, which pdb can't. It would be great to see some of 
these fixes folded back into the standard library version.

All the best,

Michael Foord
