Fixing a memory leak on exception – IPython (github.com)

I have had issues of disconnection in google colab notebook when I used the set_trace() function from Ipython.debugger module.

For example, when I try to get shape of a matrix with dimensions 1200X784, a popup said there was a run time error and the notebook disconnected with the hosted runtime.

I am just wondering if this is related to my problem. I would really appreciate any thoughts on this. Thank you
