Its not perfect but I use in sitecustomize def precmd(self,l): if '.' in l: if l[:1]!='!':l='!'+l return l if l in self.curframe.f_locals: return '!'+l if l.startswith('@'): return l[1:] return l import pdb pdb.Pdb.precmd = precmd What this does is q ->variable q if it exists else quit command @q ->always quit !q ->always variable HTH Jon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
