Recent versions (21.0 and up) of XEmacs include this in the
"prog/debug" package.

If you don't use the XEmacs package system, you can still get the
single-file "pdb.el" from

ftp://ftp.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/pub/wwe/pdb.el

And, yes, it is build on top of the Grand Unified Debugger.

Thanks, I already got the pdb.el from that site. I'm still using Xemacs 20.4 so
I had to install it manually on my machine.

One thing I noticed is that it doesn't have a debugger mode for the source file
similar with gdbsrc-mode. This requires me to use the python debugger buffer to
enter the commands. I cannot simply type 'n' or 's' on the buffer containing
the source. Do you know if such a thing is available?

Thanks,
Ovidiu
