Just so you know, and in case anyone reading isn't familiar with it, trial has a debug mode.  If you pass the -b flag, it will automatically set up pdb, plus a couple other Twisted-specific features that come in fairly handy.  twistd also supports this, letting you break into pdb at any point while the app is running, and also stopping for unhandled errors.
