Just curious... in Microsoft's Visual Studio (and I would presume some other tools), for many languages (both interpreted and compiled!) there's an "edit and conitnue" option that, when you hit a breakpoint, allows you to modify a line of code before it's actually executed.

Does any Python debugger support this feature? Being an interpreted language it doesn't seem like it would necessarily be too onerous to support? It'd be quite handy in that, especially if you hit a breakpoint due to the interpreter throwing an error, you could fix just the line in question and keep going, rather than having to stop the entire program, fix the line, and then run again and potentially kill a bunch of time getting the program back into the same "state."
