I can't tell whether the old or new description is better but the new
synopsis seems better to me (more to the point and descriptive -- you
can do debugging in the regular python too!).  Maybe it would be even
better to make clear in the description that you can also do debugging
with the _regular_ python package?

Greetings,
Maxime.
