Bear in mind that Python variables are simply names so they 
have no type or dimension information. That belongs to the 
objects to which they refer.

That having been said most debugger envioronments will show you 
the current variables in scope and their values. Certainly IDLE, 
Pythonwin and Eclipse/PyDev can all do that.
