This is super cool. With C programs, you can already attach gdb to a running program and start debugging, without starting the program under the debugger. Before pyringe, you couldn't do the same with Python. This will be very helpful for me at work.

You could always do this with any process no matter what language it's written in. The issue is in support for debugging at a higher level.

Yes, sure. GDB-level debugging of Python programs, without something like Pyringe, is pretty useless. So I am excited for the Python-level tool for debugging Python.

With gdb you have "py-bt" etc: https://docs.python.org/devguide/gdb.html
