When you run "python -i scriptname.py" after the script completes you left at the interactive command prompt.
Is there a way to have this occur from a running program?
In other words can I just run scriptname.py (NOT python -i scriptname.py) and inside of scriptname.py I decide that I want to fall back to the interactive prompt?
I've searched and so far the only thing I've come up with is to use pdb, but that is not exactly the same as the interactive prompt.
Is there any way to do it that I have missed?
Thanks.
Yes you can set the PYTHONINSPECT environment variable to something other than an empty string from within your program.
