Thanks for your help. Yes, this is what I always do. However, I want more than debugging interactively. I am trying to use the python interperter as a programmable application. Once I run my boot script, the python interpreter should have all the right objects and libraries, and the end user (who obviously knows python) can simply type in a few commands, calling my functions, to achieve his purposes interactively. What I am doing right now is almost exactly what you prescribed. I put a 'pass' statement at the end of my boot script and set a breakpoint on it, so that once the debugger stops on the breakpoint, the user can start typing in commands in the Debug Probe window. But this is by no means a nice set up. Thanks, Geoffrey -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
