Currently you can't see module globals in the debugger but we are working on 
improving the VS experience.  You should be able to see locals that are defined 
in a function though today.

Subject: [IronPython] Debugging in VS Expermental Hive

Hello

  A was hoping to get any help on ironpython scripts debugging under Visual 
Studio 2008 Experimental Hive. The problem is it appears impossible to watch 
variables in VS IDE .NET debugger apart from the line number ($line) which is 
somewhat redundant. The setup code is as follows:

C#
        ScriptRuntime Runtime = ScriptRuntime.Create ();
Runtime.GlobalOptions.DebugMode = true;
Runtime.ExecuteFile ( PyFile );

IronPython
        import System.Diagnostics
        System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break ()
somevar = 'some string'
print somevar

  So when a breakpoint fires I can go through the IronPython script feeded to 
ExecuteFile in VS IDE with the debugger. However it appears that plain script's 
variables in the watch window cannot be resolved. I'd hoped to examine the 
scope of a script but it turned out that the scope is available only after the 
ExecuteFile call is done.
  So the question is - could it be possible to access scope's variables while 
debugging with VS IDE debugger?

IronPython's version I am using is 2.0.0.1000

Cheers
