Enter Interactive Mode In Python

Question

I\'m running my Python program and have a point where it would be useful to jump in and see what\'s going on, and then step out again. Sort of like a temporary console mode.

Answer 1

You can use ipdb.

To set your breakpoints, add import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() where you want to jump into the debugger. Once you reach a breakpoint, you’ll be given an interactive shell and a few lines of code around your breakpoint for context.
