Ah, that's cool. I've never tried it, even though I got a CD at the
EuroPython conference...

[OT: Speaking of conferences: is anyone going to PyCon? I'm not, but it
would be great if someone could do a PyObjC talk there. It's in DC, so
Bill is pretty closeby (compared to me, Ronald and Jack at least ;-) so
I think we should elect him as the official representative ;-]

I don't think gdb helps all that much when debugging Python. The Python
debugger (bdb.py/pdb.py) is pure Python, so the startup funkiness
shouldn't get in the way there.
