Issue 35871: Pdb NameError in generator param and list comprehension

I get a NameError for a variable in the generator param of a function or in a list comprehension.  See example below.  The variable is available to the program, but not to the interactive Pdb shell.

# Test file:

def main(nn=10):
    xx = list(range(nn))
    breakpoint()
    for ii in range(nn):
        num = sum(xx[jj] for jj in range(nn))
    print(f'xx={xx}')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

(Pdb) sum(xx[jj] for jj in range(nn))
*** NameError: name 'xx' is not defined
(Pdb) [xx[jj] for jj in range(nn)]
*** NameError: name 'xx' is not defined
(Pdb) c
xx=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]


FWIW python3 is a homebrew installation.  I had the same issue with 3.7.0 as well (also homebrew):

Thanks for the "interact" tip.

FWIW, I see this issue in 2.7.10 as well.  Although the list comprehension works.
