i'm having some difficulties tracking your descriptions of the situation,
andreas, but i think you (and barry) are right that the problem is failure
to recognize, rather than pdbtrack not being activated (as you seemed to
initially be suggesting).

i don't understand what you mean by "delivered by 'block'"

the match may be necessary to parse the traceback, and for other reasons.

Hhm. Could you give me an example, how you run script activating pdbtrace,

what do you mean by "reaching the standard (pdb) prompt from Emacs"??
perhaps you're talking about the python interaction buffer that python-mode
provides?  i believe, but am not certain, that pdbtrack watches the output
in any comint buffer, including the python interaction buffer.  i can check
this kind of thing, but need to understand better what you're saying before
investigating.

Only get it from shell.

one thing i can suggest that you do is copy the text from the emacs buffer
that pdbtrack should recognize but doesn't, and send that excerpt to us.  i
know that's in the pictures, but it's easier for you to send us the text
than it is for us to type it accurately from the pictures.-)  preferably you
would also send an excerpt that is similar but is successfuly recognized.

i will try to find time to examine it, and see if i can identify what is
happening and what should be happening...
