IMHO, gdb and Xcode is far better than pdb with.. nothing.  I've been 
able to do pdb.set_trace() from within an PyObjC app, which works so 
long as you started it from a real console.. but it's not very pretty.  
Some people are working on better solutions (i.e., out-of-process 
Python debuggers), but they don't really exist yet.
