We frequently insert the line "import pdb;pdb.Pdb
().set_trace()" into our code while debugging to do a 
programmatic invokation of pdb.  This allows us to stop 
inside conditional checks, etc.

It would be great if Python had a standard keyword or 
global function (e.g. "start_debugger()") that did this in 
a more intuitive manner.

I don't think this is going to happen any time soon.
