Debugging problems involving the frozen importlib._bootstrap is difficult, because the source for importlib._bootstrap is not available to pdb. The bootstrap code can be stepped through, but with only function names and line numbers available, not source lines. The value of having importlib written in Python would be greatly enhanced if it were more like a regular Python module that, eg, pdb could display source lines from.
