it would show python stack which might give better idea of the scope
etc. Not that it is a panacea but I found it handy from time to time

you just need to rebuild entire pandas using python-dbg, smth like
python-dbg setup.py build_ext --inplace
and then use it straight from there
P.S. for some packages I did provide -lib-dbg package with extensions
built using python-dbg, sorry that I took a shortcut with pandas
Thanks again for looking into it
