C-c C-! is undefined in python-mode I use... and the "shell" terminology
is not used in our mode, only in the other one. But I assume you mean 
python-switch-to-python command.

Nothing reverts for me... I have a strong impression you are not using
python-mode from CVS, as this mode doesn't do anything special about
pdb AFAICT (the pdb tracking feature is only present in the other mode).

I would imagine the reason for that is that "python-11756sPY" doesn't
look like name of python file, so python-mode doesn't get turned on.
Try "C-h m" and maybe play with auto-mode-alist.

Yes, I imagine it would be the right way to implement that.

Actually, C-c C-c works... the only thing is it doesn't show Inferior
Python by default, so you would need to switch to *Python* buffer
manually. Still, that's only two commands, not 4 :)

But I am thinking about improving that.
