I realized that cocalc-jupyter actually has a powerful interactive debugger built in, which could be made very useful with just a little work (and which is usable now). To see what I mean:

Basically, you just have to open the console (click the Console button) and type %pdb then paste the code that caused the problem, and you get an interactive debugger (and it's actually a pretty good one).

This is only for python based kernels.

This could be easily automated, e.g., when the user gets a traceback, there's a little button or prompt that opens the console, enables pdb mode, then pastes exactly the same code they ran in.
