Louie> If you run your example in Python with -i, you will see the same behavior, except for the traceback, as with IDLE. F:\dev\cpython>python -i -c "x=10; print(x); raise SystemExit" Running Debug|Win32 interpreter... 10 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> SystemExit >>> x 10 Ditto for "python -i testfile.py". I would like the behavior to be the same when debugging.
