Yes, exactly. This can be seen with pdb, but not pydb.
If I'm testing a piece of code and it breaks, then I'd like to see the
variables and find which of them doesn't go as expected.

I'm not doing comparison with other languages. I'm simply curious to know why
pydb don't keep variables like pdb.

Final, I agreed the idea to restart the debugger when an exception is trow.
It could be feasible to let reload the file and restart. Some time I can
re-run the program , as the error is fixed, but sometime pdb doesn't
recognize the corrections applied.
I mean that after a post-mortem event, the debugger should forget all
variables and reload the program, which meanwhile could be debugged.
