New submission from Jayanth Raman <raman.jaya...@gmail.com>:

I get a NameError for a variable in the generator param of a function or in a 
list comprehension.  See example below.  The variable is available to the 
program, but not to the interactive Pdb shell.

# Test file:

def main(nn=10):
    xx = list(range(nn))
    breakpoint()
    for ii in range(nn):
        num = sum(xx[jj] for jj in range(nn))
    print(f'xx={xx}')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()


$ python3
Python 3.7.2 (default, Jan 13 2019, 12:50:15)
[Clang 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

$ python3 /tmp/test.py
> /tmp/test.py(5)main()
-> for ii in range(nn):
(Pdb) n
> /tmp/test.py(6)main()
-> num = sum(xx[jj] for jj in range(nn))
(Pdb) sum(xx[jj] for jj in range(nn))
*** NameError: name 'xx' is not defined
(Pdb) [xx[jj] for jj in range(nn)]
*** NameError: name 'xx' is not defined
(Pdb) c
xx=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]


FWIW python3 is a homebrew installation.  I had the same issue with 3.7.0 as 
well (also homebrew):
