> (strace on a Python program is fun, but our bugs are not that deep!)

They don't need to be deep to be useful. I once used it on nodejs on a hunch, looking for anything that felt "off", and discovered it was accessing settings files I had no idea even existed. Turned out the other dev was having problems because of one in his home directory the rest of us didn't have.
