There's already an (albeit deprecated) debugger package called pydb (http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/). It would be good to choose a different name for this, most importantly because `pip install pydb` is already taken

Reminds me of the time I lost a solid hour because the pip repository name was different than the module name.

Thank you! I looked up databases to see if there were obvious name clashes but never thought of debuggers despite using `pdb` a lot.

I'm open to suggestions for names if anyone has one. (Although I guess it'd be nice if the top discussion thread wasn't about naming.)

EDIT: I just saw you opened an issue on github so I'm happy to take name suggestions there.

I've just changed the project's name to pyzdb. Thanks again!
