This is just me being picky about comments, so use (or not) the following at your will:

1 - Although this has been vastly done in CPython, I'm personally against including the issue number (bpo-20523) at the code changes. This practice pollutes the de code and thinking forward, I wouldn't like to see a million bpo's in the source code ten years from now.

2 - The second line use os.path.expanduser() is redundant. A good comment should tell why that change is necessary, and not how you are accomplishing that. Your code should be readable enough for anyone to figure out the hows. Which in this case, it's already readable enough.

  1. we have 431 "bpo-XYZ: " in the code of CPython.
  2. I explain the reason of os.path.expanduser, because $HOME does not exist on Windows 7.

with open(os.path.expanduser('~/.pdbrc')) as rcFile:
self.rcLines.extend(rcFile)
except OSError:
pass

try:
with open(".pdbrc") as rcFile:
self.rcLines.extend(rcFile)
