    Class implementing the client side of the debugger.

    It provides access to the Python interpeter from a debugger running in
    another process.
    
    The protocol between the debugger and the client is based on JSONRPC 2.0
    PDUs. Each one is sent on a single line, i.e. commands or responses are
    separated by a linefeed character.

    If the debugger closes the session there is no response from the client.
    The client may close the session at any time as a result of the script
    being debugged closing or crashing.
