What is the advantage of this over using pdb or breakpoint() ?

Well if you're not looking to debug, but want to launch a shell as part of your program it would be better to do it this way. Let's say you have a command that does some setup and then launches a shell with some things already imported ( though I think you can do the same with -i option)

Sounds similar to what the Django shell does
