We now have a new Google group / mailing list docs@plone.org that supersedes the (dead) SourceForge mailing list.
Is just me using the package https://github.com/narfdotpl/debug ?
Instead of import pdb;pdb.set_trace() you can use justa import debug.
This is also usefull to turn default Plone debug instance into a ipdb session, just need to import debug after do a ./bin/instance -O Plone debug.

I like turning on Products.PDBDebugMode when an exception occurs during indexing or inside some kind of loop. Otherwise, I keep it turned off (out of my sys.path), because almost always it stops execution on an Unauthorized exception or something benign and gets in my way.
otherwise, I live by set_trace()
I need to use ipdb more often, but it's not a habit yet.
It hooks into the "error_log" exception handling. If "error_log" ignores "Unauthorited", then does "PDBDebugMode".
I use https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pudb . It's an alternative to pdb with a curses interface. It's very good.

If nothing else helps, there is still q. See https://pypi.org/project/q/ and its lightning talk from PyCon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL3De8BAhME#t=25m15s
I like pdbpp: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdbpp
(will try pudb, thanks)
For debugging ZMI Python Script, you can use https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.enablesettrace. I just tested in a Plone 4 instance and it worked (don't know about Plone 5 though). It's really rare to need this but it's really handy.
