Colorize pdb #113081
Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
pdb is one of the most interactive module in stdlib. Now that we already put ANSI colors in traceback, we should do it in pdb as well.
We can start small, but I think eventually we want pdb colorized well.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

Looking through Hugo's dashboard: is this done?

I don't think so. This is a rather long term issue - the plan is to fully colorize it.

After #145379 I think we are finally done with this issue. I'll close it.
