Ben, So this part of the problem sounds like a bad design in sphinx, correct? Do you know whether it is present in the current version of sphinx? If so, you might send the sphinx people a bug report. My suspicion is that the triggering of pdb was intended to be temporary (or at least optional), but got left in the sphinx code by mistake--if that is indeed where the fault lies.
