Hey I was wondering... I am using the pydev with eclipse and I'm really enjoying the powerful debugging features, but I was wondering:
Is it possible to set a breakpoint in eclipse and jump into the interactive python interpreter during execution?
I think that would be pretty handy ;)
edit: I want to emphasize that my goal is not to jump into a debugger. pydev/eclipse have a great debugger, and I can just look at the traceback and set break points.
What I want is to execute a script and jump into an interactive python interpreter during execution so I can do things like...
- poke around
- check the values of things
- manipulate variables
- figure out some code before I add it to the app
I know you can do this all with a debugger, but I can do it faster in the interactive interpreter because I can try something, see that it didn't work, and try something else without having get the app back to the point of executing that code again.
