Would't that require support on the Python debugging level anyway? Of course,
changing bytecodes from outside with a non-Python-aware debugger is easy, but
how could this be done per line or per function?

Another strange thing with pywin.debugger is that once I interrupt a program
with set_trace() and continue it again with "Go", it gets much slower, even
without breakpoints. Propably some debugging hooks are not removed, which 
IMHO should be the case if no breakpoints are set.
