Debugging cython code with pdb. Problems stepping into code

[Ian]

I believe that the python debugger, pdb, cannot step into cython code
(code defined in a *.pyx file). Anyone know the answer?

I also created the files:
############ script.py ################
import cy_funs
print cy_funs.myfun(4)

######### cy_funs.pyx #########
def myfun(object r):
return r
######################

I found that pdb was unable to step into the call cy_funs.myfun(4).
Also, consider this post:

search for the term pdb and you'll see a (recent) discussion that
seems to indicate cython-level code debugging is impossible.

Hmm, that stinks. You've probably seen this:

http://wiki.cython.org/DebuggingTechniques

which describes how to use gdb, but that's certainly not as convenient
as pdb. But would likely work...
