It was a lightning talk, I'll put the slides up somewhere at some point. My experience with pdb is that it's more or less impossible to extend or subclass it in any way, and the code is pretty nasty. In addition, pretty much everyone I asked "which modules in the std lib need to be seriously fixed" listed pdb first (and sometimes first, second and third).
