jump into the interpreter in a script

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to, within a script, jump into the interpreter.
What I mean is something like the "keyboard" command in Matlab, where the script
pauses and you get an interpreter prompt, where you can look at variables, change
their values, etc. then when you exit the interpreter, the script continues from
where it left off. Is this possible in python?
thanks,

Brian Blais

pdb might help. Add this to your code:

import pdb
pdb.set_trace()
