That's what breakpoints do.

I can't recall whether the python debugger(or the Pythonwin one) 
do watches but if they do you can set a watch event that will stop 
the program when a variable reaches(or exceeds etc) a specified 
value. Unfortunately the python debugger is fairly primitive so 
I'm not sure it can do that yet.
