[Python] BdbQuit raised when debugging Python with pdb

Recently when adding the pdb debugger to my Python 2.7.10 code, I get this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/isaachess/Programming/vivint/Platform/MessageProcessing/vivint_cloud/queues/connectors/amqplib_connector.py", line 191, in acking_callback

if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit
BdbQuit


This is after inserting the line:

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

in the code.

I cannot figure out why this is happening. I've read up on Bdb and Bdbquit, but cannot figure out why this is happening in my code. Can anyone provide me with some hints of why this happens in general? I really want to get the debugger working again.
