Most notably, pydbgr has out of process debugging, so you can attach to a server process and diagnose a deadlock, for example.

Thanks! this is what I miss most from debugging on the JVM stack. I am rarely in control of / responsible for starting the processes I want to debug. The JVM's ability to simply attach and set a breakpoint to jump in in real time, even on a remote server, when something is going wrong is a complete lifesaver.
