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.
