Easy. Insert a chunk into site.py that would call pdb.set_trace() if an envvar (e.g. `PYSITEDEBUG') or a command line switch is set.

Actually, why can't whoever has this problem add such a chunk themselves? Is this really such a frequent and ubiquitous problem
that this needs to be in the stock codebase? I suspect we're dealing with a vocal minority here.
