How do I manipulate a variable whose name conflicts with PDB commands?

Question

My code is, for better or worse, rife with single letter variables (it\'s physics stuff, so those letters are meaningful), as well as NumPy\'s, which I\'m often interacting

Answer 1

Eric IDE, Wing IDE & Spyder to mention just a few all have visual debuggers that are worth a go as they separate the display of values from the commands.
