I use plain gdb (aka the C-debugger) for this purpose. Create a small 
test-script that exposes the error you want to debug, and then start the 
python interpreter in the debugger. Set breakpoints, or watch backtraces.

I can't comment on how that works on VS08 though - but it shouldn't be 
to hard.
