Do you mean you can put this in a .cpy file:

  from Products.zdb import set_trace
  set_trace()

and then you can see the script code in the debugger?

When I try that I end up in the debugger, but I don't see anything
different from the normal pdb.set_trace().  When I press 'l' I just
see [EOF] like always.  Is there a trick I am missing?

It *would* be neat! :)

Those security declarations are actually the only thing that
svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/Products.enablesettrace itself does.
