The debugger trepan3k follows the gdb command set so it gdb's "source" command. See 
http://python2-trepan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/commands/support/source.html or type "help source" inside the debugger. To install trepan3k "easy_install trepan3k" (I'm not totally sure pip install works yet). See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/trepan3k/ for mor details.
