I don't know the "BBEdit way" to do this, but here's a few
suggestions, which incidentally is how I run my python code:
* Run your python scripts from the commandline using Terminal. Either
set them up as fully auto-run scripts (set executable and use the #!
line) or use `python <scriptname>`.
* Assuming you run via Terminal, you can run them interactively:
`python -i <scriptname>` Basically, this means you finish your script
or hit ^c and it leaves you in the interpreter (which is what I think
you want).
* Finally, I happen to like using the pdb in my code for various
reasons. import pdb and then pdb.set_trace() will start the debugger.
In particular, I have a multi-threaded program that I actually need to
stop and run various analysis functions. I do this:
def main():
try:
run_server()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
helpme()
pdb.set_trace()
When I hit a ^c in my program, it drops me to the python debugger and
then I can use that or interactive mode to do analysis on the data
that run_server() collected.
Again, this all presumes a specific workflow - using BBEdit as an
editor only and running my programs via a terminal commandline.
Alternately, there might be a way to configure BBEdit to start your
script via `python -i` instead of just running it.
