bug in pdb?

[Quinn Dunkan]

Apparently, pdb makes use of a module called repr (which I think is a
*terrible* name for a module).  When I try to call repr(foo) from pdb, I get
TypeError, and worse, when I try to step over code which _uses_ repr, the
program blows up.

% cat >bug.py
foo = 'baz'
print repr(foo)
^D
% /usr/local/lib/python1.5/pdb.py bug.py
> <string>(0)?()
(Pdb) n
> <string>(1)?()
(Pdb) 
TypeError: 'call of non-...(type module)'
> <string>(1)?()
(Pdb)
