+Pyclewn allows using vim as a front end to a debugger.
+Pyclewn currently supports gdb and pdb.
+
+The debugger output is redirected to a vim window,
+the pyclewn console. The debugger commands are mapped to vim
+user-defined commands with a common letter prefix, and with completion
+available on the commands and their first argument.
+
+When running gvim, the controlling terminal of the program to debug is
+the terminal used to launch pyclewn. Any other terminal can be used
+when the debugger allows it, for example after using the attach or tty
+gdb commands or using the --tty option with pdb.
+ 
+Required Vim 7.0 or above with the netbeans_intg feature enabled,
+and with the autocmd feature enabled.
+
+You can use the :help pyclewn command within vim, to get access
+to the documentation.
