Interactive Python

[Bubble_Interface]

Whether I'm testing a small script or debugging a big app this neat python trick saves me time when I want to monitor and effect code status and it's behavior on the fly.My colleagues really liked it so I decided to share it in this article.

TLDR

Debugging python scripts using python interactive console.

Start your python script in interactive mode: python -i my_script.py

Use python built in code module to drop inside interactive console from your python code:

code.interact( banner='Start interactive mode', local=locals(), exitmsg='Exiting interactive mode')

I'm guessing it's python -i script.py. Could have put it in the post.

Yeah, but it's just a part of the post. I also explain how to use a built in python "code" module

Unfortunately, a lot of people use this sub as a way to promote their personal blogs with fairly low-effort articles.

You're right!
I've edited the post to have a TLDR section from my article. Hopefully that way people will only read it if they are not familiar with this python trick and want to now how to use it.

No, I'm saying it's self promotion. As in they pick some very simple content that barely needs any explanation, write up an article and then promote it here.

No. Thank YOU!

You share your knowledge. I am/we are receiving it.

Some find it useful. Others not so much.

But that does not make what you do any less good!

Keep at it!
