Dump function variables to workspace in python/ipython

Question

When developing and debugging with python/ipython repl, at some point I\'d like to dump all the local variables in a function to the workspace to see what\'s going on. Suppo

Answer 1

To achieve what is directly asked for in the question, the function could return locals(), then you can update locals() in the interactive environment:

def func():
    # define a,b,c
    return locals() # or, more restrictively, return {'a':a, 'b':b, 'c':c}

>>> locals().update(func())
