If ALL you have to handle is the code:

    for i in list:
        print i

Then I think you can probably "set up your own loop". But I hope you
realize that this doesn't generalize very well. If you had this:

    x = 1
    while complexFunc(x):
        x = doFirstThing(x)
        x = doSecondThing(x)

Then I'd be VERY surprised if you could "set up your own loop" --
basically you'd have to write your own python interpreter!

Fortunately, are correct that looking at debugging hooks is the
way to go for what I _think_ you want. (I think you want an interactive
display that stops after each "line" of code, right?) Whether or
not that's done via debuggermodule, I'm not sure, but if you explore
the docs a little and still have questions, I'm sure others here can
answer them.
