That's the sort of thing that calling twisted.internet.defer.setDebugging(True)
is meant to help with.  If you turn that on, you can probably introspect the
stuff it creates and use that in your debugging tool.  (That's a bit ugly, but
probably not significantly worse than introspecting other private attributes
Deferred.)
