Description: 
              PuDB is a full-screen, console-based visual debugger for Python. 
        
              Its goal is to provide all the niceties of modern GUI-based debuggers in a 
              more lightweight and keyboard-friendly package. PuDB allows you to debug code 
              right where you write and test it--in a terminal. If you've worked with the 
              excellent (but nowadays ancient) DOS-based Turbo Pascal or C tools, PuDB's UI 
              might look familiar.
        
              Here's a screenshot:

              Features
              --------
        
              * Syntax-highlighted source, the stack, breakpoints and variables are all 
                visible at once and continuously updated. This helps you be more aware of 
                what's going on in your program. Variable displays can be expanded, collapsed 
                and have various customization options.
        
              * Simple, keyboard-based navigation using single keystrokes makes debugging 
                quick and easy. PuDB understands cursor-keys and Vi shortcuts for navigation. 
                Other keys are inspired by the corresponding pdb coomands.
        
              * Use search to find relevant source code, or use "m" to invoke the module 
                browser that shows loaded modules, lets you load new ones and reload existing 
                ones.
        
              * Breakpoints can be set just by pointing at a source line and hitting "b" and 
                then edited visually in the breakpoints window.  Or hit "t" to run to the line 
                under the cursor.
        
              * Drop to a Python shell in the current environment by pressing "!".
        
              * PuDB places special emphasis on exception handling. A post-mortem mode makes 
                it easy to retrace a crashing program's last steps.
        
              * IPython integration (see `wiki <http://wiki.tiker.net/PuDB>`_)
        
              Installing
              ----------
        
              Install PuDB using the command::
        
                  easy_install pudb
        
              Getting Started
              ---------------
        
              To start debugging, simply insert::
        
                  from pudb import set_trace; set_trace()
        
              into the piece of code you want to debug, or run the entire script with::
        
                  python -m pudb.run my-script.py
        
              Documentation and Support
              -------------------------
        
              PuDB has a `wiki <http://wiki.tiker.net/PuDB>`_, where documentation and
              debugging wisdom are collected.
        
              PuDB also has a `mailing list <http://lists.tiker.net/listinfo/pudb>`_ that
              you may use to submit patches and requests for help.
        
              Programming PuDB
              ----------------
        
              At the programming language level, PuDB displays the same interface
              as Python's built-in `pdb module <http://docs.python.org/library/pdb.html>`_.
              Just replace `pdb` with `pudb`. 
              (One exception: `run` is called `runstatement`.)
