Probably the easiest way to do this currently is to define something like:

def break():
   try:
     assert 0
   except AssertionError:
     pass

and then call break() where you want to stop.  You'll stop, but the 
stack will be one frame below where you want.

We plan on adding a better way of doing this in a future release.

Cheers,
