Suspend on exception in pdb

Is there a way to set a dynamic breakpoint***, suspend on exception, in pdb?

***dynamic in the sense of not tied to any line number

In pycharm (pydev), this is possible and is a nice feature, but often times, I have to use pdb due to limitations of the pycharm debugger (no jump functionality and/or the machine doesn't have pycharm).

You're looking for postmortem mode:

try:
    code_that_may_raise_exception()
except Exception:
    import pdb; pdb.post_mortem()

This will break on exception and drop you into a debugger right where it is being raised from
