Howto debug self?

Yes, this would work. However if self has some classes you have to iterate 
over the dictionaries. I tried to make my own abstraction from bdb to play 
with the eval() command, to display the complete tree. But I ran into 
recursion problems (enless loops).  

Somehow it is hard to imagin this has not been implemented sofar, as I would 
consider it as a very basic debugging function. Are there better frontends 
to bdb than pdb?
