pdb: can't debug a script with arguments #125115

Bug report

Bug description:

Hello everyone,

With Python 3.13, pdb doesn't pass arguments like -b or --bar to a script while it works fine with Python 3.12.

test.py

import sys

print(' '.join(sys.argv))

✅ Good:

$ python3.13 -m pdb -c continue -c quit test.py foo
test.py foo
The program finished and will be restarted

🐛 Bad:

$ python3.13 -m pdb -c continue -c quit test.py foo --bar
usage: pdb [-h] [-c command] (-m module | pyfile) [args ...]
pdb: error: unrecognized arguments: --bar

✅ Good:

$ python3.12 -m pdb -c continue -c quit test.py foo --bar
test.py foo --bar
The program finished and will be restarted

Best regards!
