Question

I have an object oriented program and I want to stop execution and maintain the python memory of all the variables that were in memory during execution.

I want to do that so that I can experiment with my variables and program with them in the python shell.

sys.exit() finish python execution, not only the script, it is not what I want.

Answer 1

Using the following Python statements should solve your problem. It involves using the debugger.

import pdb
pdb.set_trace()
