The library documentation page for pdb shows running pdb as a script
using the command
        python -m pdb
Shouldn't that be
        python3 -m pdb
?

On Windows, 3.x has so far been installed as python.exe, not
python3.exe, so this change is not correct for Windows users. So please
consider reverting this until there is a consistent change across platforms.

I assume the poor Windows users can figure out what they need to do :)
