The ability to execute arbitrary code while stopped in the debugger is
exactly what I am looking for and if you can add it to pyOXIDE relatively
easily that would be tremendous. Ideally one would have access to a
"python interactive" window whenever the debugger is stopped and be able
to execute commands, look at results, etc. from within that shell. Then
it would be a simple matter to import one's favorite plotting library and
have the full matlab-like ability to visualize arrays, etc. I would
contend that for scientific prototyping this is extremely useful
functionality.
