[New-bugs-announce] [issue32900] Teach pdb to step through asyncio et al.

[Matthias Urlichs]

New submission from Matthias Urlichs <smurf at smurf.noris.de>:

The attached patch is a proof-of-concept implementation of a way to teach pdb to "single-step" through non-interesting code that you can't skip with "n". The prime example for this is asyncio, trio et al., though decorators like @contextlib.contextmanager also benefit.

A "real" implementation should allow the user to specify ranges to ignore, on the pdb command line (probably by filename and optional range of line numbers, instead of pattern matching). A visual indication of how much code has been skipped-ahead that way might also be beneficial.
