Hasn't it always been like that? I tried with Python 2.3 now and it's the same. I have no memory of that actually changing an existing variable in any version of Python I've used. More testing turns out that this works:
-> print "lv is ", lv (Pdb) lv=2 (Pdb) c lv is 2 While this seem to "reset" is: -> print "lv is ", lv (Pdb) lv=2 (Pdb) lv 1 (Pdb) c lv is 1 This is the same from Python 2.3 to 2.6. I thought is just was a lack of feature, that there for some reason was really hard to change the value of an existing variable from the debugger. I though that for ten years. It never occurred to me to change the variable and type c without first checking that the variable had changed... :-) It is however fixed in 2.7. -> print "lv is ", lv (Pdb) lv=2 (Pdb) lv 2 (Pdb) c lv is 2 But this bug/lack of feature has been there as long as I can remember. :-) //Lennart _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
