pdb and its variants (my favorite is PuDB) are generally difficult to use in complex, corporate projects. If you've got a multi-process, multi-thread Python project running on a remote host, you'll need a really full-featured debugger to work with it effectively. I recommend Wing IDE or PyCharm for that.
Certainly not a counter, as I'm less familiar with Wing and Pycharm's debugging features, but both of these have been helpful to me in multi-process, multi-thread python environments.
