Debug Console

In Pydev Extensions, once you hit a breakpoint, you can use the console for probing the program at the selected frame. The screenshot below shows it in action...

1. Shows the selected frame. You may choose another frame to probe.
2. Shows the place where the debugger is currently suspended.
3. Allows you to enter statements to be evaluated by the debugger.

The statement is sent to execution whenever you enter an empty line, so, in the example above, the "print 'a is :', a" is evaluated after pressing enter 2 times.

Update in version 1.3.13: the return of simple statements is printed automatically to the output (so, in the example just typing the name of the variable 'a' in the prompt would already show its value in the output).
