For example, in some screenshots of gud-gdb, some people seem to have red circles to the left of lines with breakpoints. How to achieve that with pdb? And is there a way to list all breakpoints (like the breakpoints buffer of gud-gdb)?

Actually putting a breakpoint in emacs is very easy (just type, say, "b 10" to put a breakpoint at line 10). And I've figured out how to list all breakpoints (just type "b").

What I wanted  is the feature that would put a red icon to left of the lines with breakpoints, like this:
