[New-bugs-announce] [issue5215] change value of local variable in debug

[mproeller]

New submission from mproeller <mproeller at googlemail.com>:

The following code produces problems:

import pdb
def func():
	b = 13
	pdb.set_trace()
	a = b + 2
	print a
func()

If I change the value of b (e.g. to 3) everything works fine
(print a => displays 5)
but if I want to change b (e.g. to 3) and display the value,
it is reset to 13
(and print a displays 15)
