Bug report
Bug description:
Python 3.12 introduced $-prefixed convenience variables to pdb (#103693).
It automatically replaces $-words in strings, which is undocumented. @nedbat suggests this is unintended behavior.
This totally breaks MongoDB queries inside pdb, as it makes frequent use of such strings.
CPython versions tested on:
3.12
Operating systems tested on:
Linux
