The library documentation page for pdb shows running pdb as a script
using the command
python -m pdb
Shouldn't that be
python3 -m pdb
?

Fixed in r74821.

On Windows, 3.x has so far been installed as python.exe, not
python3.exe, so this change is not correct for Windows users. So please
consider reverting this until there is a consistent change across platforms.

I assume the poor Windows users can figure out what they need to do :)
