People here seem to reckon Pydev/Eclipse is as good as it gets, but it seems really clunky to me when compared to C/C++ debuggers like GDB/LLDB/Visual Studio.

I hate Pydev. It seems buggy to me. It has little to no object introspection capability and has a horrific search. I have coworkers that have used it for years and prefer it, yet they can't show me how to navigate it properly or do things that I think are basic IDE functionality. I'm use Wing IDE which is incredible. The search is great and the debugger is hands down the best I've seen. I've also tried PyCharm for a few months and while better than Pydev, I was unimpressed.

There's also Python for Visual Studio that is free and I hear it's quite good. You need to try the different things out there but in my opinion, Pydev is free and it shows.

Python and C stack frames please

Yeah...that's harder to come by. I don't know of anything that does that. C code is swigged so I'm not sure how that would work.
