But as far as I can tell, pdb's next is already different from gdb's next! gdb's next seem to always go to the different source line, while pdb's next may stay on the current line. The problem with "next <n>" meaning "repeat next n times" is that it seems to be less useful that the original suggestion. Any alternative suggestions to allow to step over list comprehensions and such? (SF 1248119) > Plus, there is always a chance that > <current line>+n is never reached, which would also be confusing. That should not be a problem, returning from the current frame should be treated as a stopping condition (similarly to the current "next" behaviour)...
