In any case, I think there's room for providing more information in the traceback than there is now, even without decompiling anything. For example, I'd like to see some indication of the values (or at least the types) being passed to each function call. In many cases, that would save me a trip around the insert_print_statements- run-fix_the_bug-take_the_print_ statements_out_again loop.
Check out cgitb.py. It does a lot of that (albeit in HTML). --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
