"The modules: bdb, which are incompatible with the debugger"

[themusicgod1]

upon attempting to debug a pydb session:

*** Successfully attached to '/usr/bin/pydb'.
*** The modules: bdb, which are incompatible with the debugger were detected
*** and can possibly cause the debugger to fail.

Indeed they did fail: attempting to 'break' during a running pydb session with an actively running program resulted in just a spinning cursor.

so consider this a wishlist request for bdb support so that running pydb sessions can be successfully debugged.
