Break when variable is a certain value when debugging with IPython?










1














Can I ask IPython to break when it encounters a variable at a specific value?



myloop.py



for myvar in range(1, 10):
print("myvar: ".format(myvar))


this does not work, but I envision something like...



%run -d -b myvar:6 /path/to/myloop.py


where IPython breaks when myvar is 6



There is a similar question using import ipdb;ipdb.set_trace() but based on IPython's %run all necessary input to debug a condition can be handled using the magic command.

  • This would require internal edits, which would be slow to add and cause unnecessary changes in version control. Looking for a solution using %run.
