I find it ironic that you are suggesting removing the debugger to make it 
easier to debug the code :)

(Not that I entirely disagree -- I find that 9 times out of 10 it's easier to 
debug code just using print statements and the interactive interpreter than 
with the debugger.)

Which is what pdb is :)

Nevertheless, if the Original Poster is not actually using the debugger, he 
should remove the debugger calls.
