[New-bugs-announce] [issue39208] PDB pm function throws exception without sys import

[ThePokestarFan]

New submission from ThePokestarFan <sarkaraoyan at gmail.com>:

When testing PDB in python 3.8.1, PDB throws an exception when I call the pm() function in PDB without importing system.

[Fresh session]
>>> import pdb
>>> pdb.pm()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/pdb.py", line 1631, in pm
    post_mortem(sys.last_traceback)
AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'last_traceback'
>>> import sys
>>> pdb.pm()
> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/pdb.py(1631)pm()
-> post_mortem(sys.last_traceback)
...
