You can directly inspect variables / call functions defined in the module, etc. And if there is an exception, you can: >>> import pdb; pdb.pm() to debug it "post mortem". Note that every time you press F5, it kill the previous Python, and re-runs the file in a new python, so you'll lose all state from the previous run. (But the history and output is retained until you exit IDLE.) -- Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin <c...@users.sf.net>
