I'm new here, so please excuse what might be a stupid question. I'm playing around with the IDE and it mostly seems pretty cool. One thing I can't figure out how to do is evaluate code while in the debug environment. Basically, is there a way to access a console that can evaluate code in real time while in the debugger the way you can in Spyder for example. Or do you have to rely entirely on print statements and the watchlist?
Thanks

Hey Moe,
Check out this example with PyCharm – I don't think we officially support Spyder since it didn't support remote debugging,
CLI style execution would be more like Research - Â

Thanks for the prompt reply Jared. That was pretty helpful.
One thing that might be nice would be access to a terminal when using the debugger through the web interface so we can run code on the fly while debugging. Is that something you guys have considered at all?
Thanks again,
Moe

Hi Moe,
The debug terminal isn't currency available because of security concerns. We will review this feature in the future.
Best,
