I can't tell whether the old or new description is better but the new
synopsis seems better to me (more to the point and descriptive -- you
can do debugging in the regular python too!). Maybe it would be even
better to make clear in the description that you can also do debugging
with the _regular_ python package?

Greetings,
Maxime.

I pushed the improved synopsis, but also had doubts about the
description change, so left it out in
15943fa75788edb8d9ed1c3d8d320f50d21e4baa.

Closing.

Thanks,

Maxim
