Hi.
Sorry if everybody is already aware of this.
No, it's new to me.
I have checked the code for pdb in CVS , especially for the p cmd, maybe I'm wrong but given actual the implementation of things that gives no access to the value of free or cell variables. Should that be fixed?
I think so. I've noted that the locals() function also doesn't see cell variables: from __future__ import nested_scopes import pdb def f(): a = 12 print locals() def g(): print a g() a = 100 g() #pdb.set_trace() f() This prints {} 12 100 When I enable the pdb.set_trace() call, indeed the variable a is not found.
AFAIK pdb as it is works with jython too. So when fixing that, it would be nice if this would be preserved.
