Thanks for the reply, but neither of those work for me. I don't seem to have
the "trial" program installed. Where do you get it?
Also, when I use the try/catch block, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "_test.py", line 10, in <module>
pdb.pm()
File "c:\python25\lib\pdb.py", line 1148, in pm
post_mortem(sys.last_traceback)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'last_traceback'

I use `trial -b <filename>', which automatically enables a bunch of nice
debugging functionality. ;) However, you can try this, if you're not
interested in using a highly featureful test runner:
try:
unittest.main()
except:
import pdb
pdb.pm()
This will "post-mortem" the exception, a commonly useful debugging
technique.
