Description
Feature or enhancement
Make pdb's help message less ugly.
Pitch
Currently, the help message of pdb is not pretty.
(Pdb) h a
a(rgs)
Print the argument list of the current function.
(Pdb)
a(rgs) is a little bit confusing by itself and the description's indentation is too long(directly from the docstring). commands is even worse.
(Pdb) h commands
commands [bpnumber]
(com) ...
(com) end
(Pdb)
The docstring for each command is not entirely unified (whether there's a space between the command and the description) and for some docstrings they don't match the documentation.
(Pdb) h enable
enable bpnumber [bpnumber ...]
is different than the documentation enable [bpnumber ...]
We can make it better and more user friendly.
