Interestingly gdb (and in turn rr) has some limited support for debugging python. At least you can get a python backtrace, but I didn't have success in setting pyhton breakpoints.

Yeah, 'cause you're technically debugging the python interpreter. I've had some success with tracing tools designed for C/C++ for a python project. Was not easy to set up and will obviously include frames from the interpreter.

Tho, it feels wrong to expect a tool designed for native binaries to work well with python in this context. And that's ok. It feels lucky when it works as much as it does.

Works surprisingly well.
