No packages need to be installed, everything is right there in the
install environment. In the window with the traceback, there's a
'debug' option that will drop you into PDB (I haven't looked at the
code, but it probably calls pdb.post_mortem() with the exception
object). See http://docs.python.org/library/pdb.html#module- pdb for
more details on the debugger itself.
