Using the Python Debug Prompt

The debugger sidebar and Variable inspection limits the number of values displayed for performance reasons.

A debug prompt for Python models has been added located above the Output pane which allows you to enter arbitrary expressions, whose results will be displayed on the Output pane. It can be used to conveniently print any variable in the current local stack frame or from global scope.

The prompt supports evaluation of expressions and statements. Specifically, if the value of the expressions is not the Python "None" value, it will be displayed. For example:
  • '1.0==1' will display as 'true'
  • 'print(15)' and '15' both result in the same output; '15'
  • A = 15 results into "None" and won't be displayed. However, the value is set and 'A' or 'print(A)' in a subsequent command will display '15' on the Output pane.
This can also be used to show a subset of the data:
If the debug prompt does not appear, click on the Run menu, and select Show/Hide Python Debug Prompt:
