python "breakpoint" (more or less equivalent to ruby's binding.pry); for a proper debugger, use https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html

break.py

import code; code.interact(local=dict(globals(), **locals()))

I use this code snippet so often it's not even funny...

Haha, amazing. Anytime I'm stuck on these science projects that lack an iPython this is clutch.

@obfusk is there any way to halt execution? Trying to use this in a complex Hadoop streaming script and it floods its own stdin with whatever was queued up for stdout.

I've been using either sleep or signal but I'm floored that there isn't a better way to do this.

If you want to be able to reference imported modules, try this variation:

import code; code.interact(local=dict(globals(), **locals()))

Brilliant! Thanks for posting.

thumbs up!

Great

pip install ipdb

import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()

Just wanted to say that I love this snippet ❤️

Me too <3

The best thing about this snippet is how intuitive it is.

How do I continue execution when I want to exit the interpreter?

@crajcan you probably figured this out, so for those who come later, ^D seems to continue execution.

I wonder if maybe this should be saved somewhere besides a gist

@charterchap No. ^D continues execution, exit() terminates completely.

perfect! Its a standard in my work ;)

import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()

danke!

Amazing! Thank you!

It was very helpful to me.

⭐ 👍

Very helpful, thank you 👍 !

still searching for this
jjajaja

i dont see how to use this...how do i view the data in my object? is it the same commands as pdb?

@TimB0 The same way you would in an interactive Python shell :)

$ python3 -c 'x = 42; import code; code.interact(local=dict(globals(), **locals()))'
>>> x
42

(and when you're done, use ^D (EOF) to continue or quit() to abort the program)

def pry():
    import inspect
    frame = inspect.currentframe().f_back
    try:
        import code; 
        code.interact(local=dict(frame.f_globals, **frame.f_locals))
    finally:
        del frame
