I am still finding my way around Eclipse and PyDev, but nevertheless am very impressed with the development environment. My previous Python coding experiences have been with the Idle tool. In the Idle environment, when the debugger hits a breakpoint it drops control to the interpreter command prompt allowing the user full access to the interpreter. I am trying to find the same functionality in PyDev, however, it seems that when the PyDev debugger hits a breakpoint the user cannot directly interact with the interpreter. Am I missing something? Why do I want to access the interpreter? Some of the variables are rather complex (e.g. dictionaries containing values that are very long multiline strings) and it is time consuming to examine and interact with the variables contents using the variable display window. It is sometimes quicker to interact with these variables using the interpreter directly. Possible PyDev bug? In trying to view variables containing long multiline strings using the debugger Variables window, the strings are truncated at approximately 200 characters in the table and show "..." at the end. In the detail pane directly below, the strings are also truncated at around 200 characters with "...". If I right click on the details pane and select "Max length..." and set it to a high value or 0 (i.e. unlimited) then I would expect the whole string to be displayed. However, it seems that the "Max length..." setting is not honoured, and the details pane remains unchanged, truncating the string at around 200 characters. Any help would be appreciated.
