highlight breakpoints with pdb?

highlight breakpoints with pdb?

[Xin Jin]

I use pdb with gud to debug python scripts. I am just wondering if there is way to highlight the lines with breakpoints? 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)?

I actually tried realgud once, and it did have this feature. However, realgud is lacking documentation, and I find it extremely confusing to use. I have very limited knowledge of elisp, so I cannot figure out what is going on without a more detailed guide.

Thanks.

This should be possible. Exists a related feature request already at python-mode.el's side

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:
