Pyclewn 1.5 has been released at http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/

Pyclewn is a python program that allows the use of Vim as a front end
to gdb and pdb.

This release adds support for ``pdb``, the python debugger.

 + A python script may be run under the control of ``pdb``. For
   example the current vim buffer may be started and debugged with
   the vim command ``:Pyclewn pdb %:p``

 + One may also attach to a running python process, interrupt the
   process, manage a debugging session and terminate the debugging
   session by detaching from the process. A new debugging session may
   be conducted later on this same process, possibly from another Vim
   instance.

 + All the ``pdb`` commands are supported except ``list`` and
   ``commands``.  This includes alias expansion and executing a
   python statement in the context of the current frame. The new
   command ``threadstack`` prints the instantaneous backtrace of all
   the threads, including those that are stuck in a deadlock.

* Pdb is currently supported on unix platforms and requires the latest
 Vim version: Vim 7.3. Python3 is not supported yet.
