Sure. It goes something like this:

$ gdb python
GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-768) (Tue Oct  2 04:07:49 UTC 2007)

(gdb) run my_crashing_script.py
... output from gdb
(gdb) bt
... this is the backtrace



If your program doesn't start running immediately after the run command, but 
instead tells you something like this:

   Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

do this:

   (gdb) continue

It depends on your platform, and how gdb is configured whether or not you get 
this, I think. That's what I get on OS X.
