Stepped into a 3000 iteration loop today while debugging python code. How do you get out of that? Turns out there is an "until" command in the debugger that will type next for you until it's about to hit a line further down in the program. Or more precisely:

The until command is like next, except it explicitly continues until execution reaches a line in the same function with a line number higher than the current value
