Is it possible to drop into a repl with clojure/repl & inspect things?

[Sean Neilan]

Hey All,

Just wondering, is it possible to drop into a repl like the one defined here

https://github.com/halgari/clojure-py/blob/master/clojure/repl.py

and then inspect variables and perhaps do some debugging?

Thank you for your time.

Woah, I just tried importing ipdb & inspecting a variable I created.. It actually worked!!

user=> (def m 5)

#'user/m

user=> m

5

user=> (require 'ipdb)

nil

user=> (.set_trace ipdb)

--Return--

None

> <unknown>(0)user/<string>()

ipdb> m

#'user/m

ipdb> m.__dict__

{'threadBound': False, '_meta': None, 'dynamic': True, 'rev': 2, 'sym': m, 'ns': <module 'user' from '<unknown>'>, 'root': <clojure.lang.atomicreference.AtomicReference object at 0x27696d0>, 'public': True}

ipdb> m.root.__dict__

{'val': 5}

ipdb> m.root.val

5

That's pretty cool!!
