Eli, thank you.

I prefer command line debug without so many windows open. Besides, 
gdb-many-windows() seems not callable in gud-pdb mode, maybe it's only 
available in gud-gdb mode. 

And I have gone through gud code and found supports for other debuggers except 
gdb are rudimentary. So I add the code to .emacs to highlight/hide python 
debugger outputs.

(add-hook 'pdb-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (progn
            (hi-lock-face-buffer "^-> +.+$\\|^.+pdb\\.py.+$\\|^.+bdb\\.py.+$" 
'org-hide)
            (hi-lock-face-buffer "^> [-a-zA-Z0-9_/.:\\]*([0-9]+)" 'bold)
            )))
