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.

Kind regards,

phasevision
