1.3.4 Entering the Debugger from Python or a Python Shell

If you want to debug a Python script from inside another Python program (often a Python shell program such as IPython), the runl(), and runv() function calls can be of help. See 1.3.7 for information about these calls.

The 'l', and 'v' suffixes have meanings analogous that used in os.spawnv(), os.execv(), os.spawnl(), or os.execl() (and other Python library functions).
