I would like to execute arbitrary Python commands in Python console so that they can access current local (and global, any) variables of function during debugging process, like in Matlab debugging.
Is it possible in Python?
UPDATE
I don't have button described by @nanotek
Highlighted button, located in the same place does the opposite thing: it dispays console variables. As you see, console doesn't see found_features variable, which is in currently traced program above.
