How to start a REPL in python

how to get a REPL in Python: ipdb.set_trace()

Here’s a program called test.py that sets a breakpoint on line 5 using import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace().

import requests

def make_request():
result = requests.get("https://google.com")
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()

make_request()

And here’s what it looks like when you run it: you get a REPL where you can inspect the result variable or do anything else you want.

python3 test.py
--Return--
None
> /home/bork/work/homepage/test.py(5)make_request()
4 result = requests.get("https://google.com")
----> 5 import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
6

ipdb> result.headers

You have to install ipdb to make this work, but I think it’s worth it –
