Summary: pdb: unexpected path confuses Emacs

Initial Comment:
With python 2.2b1,
Start the debugger like this on any script.  Notice the
stack frame display in which <string> has a path name
prepended to it.
This confuses the emacs Python debugging mode
(python-mode.el) causing it not to recognize the line
as a stack frame, and thus not to display the (Pdb)
prompt for the user.

$ ./bin/python ./lib/python2.2/pdb.py ~/tmp/foo.py
> /hda3/sys/Python-2.2b1-local/<string>(0)?()
(Pdb)

in the same scenario, python 1.5 does not confuse emacs
because it displays the line like this:
> <string>(0)?()
