 An alternative to using ``set_trace`` is to use::

+    from pudb import activate_and_continue; activate_and_continue()

+------------------

+Both ``set_trace`` and ``activate_and_continue`` set ``SIGINT`` (i.e.,
+``Ctrl-c``) to run ``set_trace``, so that typing ``Ctrl-c`` while your code is
+running will break the code and start debugging. See the docstring of
+``set_interrupt_handler`` for more information. Note that this only works in
+the main thread.
