Xavier de Gaye added the comment: Interestingly, the interact command was added at changeset:
$ hg log -v --pager cat -r $(hg blame Lib/pdb.py | grep do_interact | awk -F : '{print $1}') changeset: 66691:c2578a68879d user: Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> date: Sat Dec 04 11:20:26 2010 +0000 files: Doc/library/pdb.rst Lib/pdb.py Misc/NEWS description: Add the "interact" pdb command from pdb++. And the included documentation, added at that time, states (emphasis added by me): Start an interative interpreter (using the code module) whose global namespace contains all the ***(global and local)*** names found in the current scope. I can provide a test case for the patch when this issue is re-opened, unless someone else is willing to do it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21161> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
