pdb is really best used in the normal OS window.

While I have used pdb inside IDLE its not great, you are
much better off using the graphical debugger built into
IDLE. Its not quite as powerful as pDB but it is easier
to use! If you are on windows the pythonwin debugger
is better than either pdb or IDLE...
