How do you see the return value from a function in the Python debugger, without an intermediate?

Question

PDB (and other Python debuggers) have a simple way of viewing the value of any current variable, just by typing it in. However, sometimes I work with libraries that don\'t store

Answer 1

In pdb, when the function returns a ->'value' is added at the end of the line with the representation of the returned value.

For example:

(Pdb) s
--Return--
> test.py(12)do_stuff()->'f'
-> return result
(Pdb) q

means do_stuff() returned 'f'
