I have a strange behaviour of python with pdb and import statement.
Here is the example code :
file my1.py:
import my2
file my2.py:
a=5
toto
I intentionnaly put a syntax error in file my2.py.
If I run "python -i my2.py" and run pdb I got :
NameError: name 'toto' is not defined
-toto>>import pdb
pdb.pm()
5>>print a
If I run "python -i my1.py" and run pdb I got :
NameError: name 'toto' is not defined
-toto>>import pdb
pdb.pm()
None>>print a
Why can't I get access to variable a in pdb when the process generating
the error came from an import statement ?
With python 2.3.5, it works fine and in the two cases I get the correct
value of 5 for variable "a".
with python 2.43,2.5.1,2.5. 2, it doesn't work and I get "None" value for
variable a.
Somebody can explain me this behaviour ?
Thanks.
