"""
This file shows how you can define a custom shell for PuDB. This is the
shell used when pressing the ! key in the debugger (it does not affect the
Ctrl-x shell that is built into PuDB).
To create a custom shell, create a file like this one with a function called
pudb_shell(_globals, _locals) defined at the module level. Note
that the file will be execfile'd.
Then, go to the PuDB preferences window (type Ctrl-p inside of PuDB) and add
the path to the file in the "Custom" field under the "Shell" heading.
The example in this file

# Define this a function with this name and signature at the module level.

"""
This example shell runs a classic Python shell. It is based on
run_classic_shell in pudb.shell.

# Many shells only let you pass in a single locals dictionary, rather than
# separate globals and locals dictionaries. In this case, you can use
# pudb.shell.SetPropagatingDict to automatically merge the two into a
# single dictionary. It does this in such a way that assignments propogate
# to _locals, so that when the debugger is at the module level, variables
# can be reassigned in the shell.
