Is there a non-pdb way to enter Python interpreter at a given line?

Question

Is there a way to cause a python script to enter the interpreter at a given line? I know I can use import pdb; pdb.set_trace() to begin debugging at a certain line, but that means all the pdb commands may get in the way.

Is there a way to kick into the regular interpreter (or ipython) outside of pdb?

Lots of dupes for this one. Search "enter python interpreter programatically" or equivalent. — Mad Physicist, Dec 04 '17 at 22:14

The easiest way is code.interact:

import code
code.interact(local={**globals(), **locals()})
