There is already a solution for this, and that is by using a debug
proxy. The nice folks at ActiveState have this documented, and I will be
adding this to the Xdebug documentation soon as well. See:

http://blogs.activestate.com/jeffg/2006/08/howto_set_up_ko.html
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/Komodo/4.1/komodo-doc-debugger.html#dbgp_proxy

If you don't have the debug proxy bundle, you can download it from:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/Komodo/RemoteDebugging
(Pick the "Python Remote Debugging" bundle).
