Courses Plus Student 20,171 PointsIn which video there is the example of excecuting python with the `-t` flag to run the script but keep the REPL?
I remember watching this video but can't remember which one it was
EDIT: It was -i flag for interactive

I can't remember where I saw that-- I recall it had something to do with debugging code. The closest video I can find is of Kenneth Love showing off the python debugger in the course "Write Better Python"

Here is something else worth looking into...
https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html
The Python -m flag
pdb.py can also be invoked as a script to debug other scripts. For example:
$ python3 -m pdb myscript.py
When invoked as a script, pdb will automatically enter post-mortem debugging
if the program being debugged exits abnormally. After post-mortem debugging
(or after normal exit of the program), pdb will restart the program. Automatic
restarting preserves pdb’s state (such as breakpoints) and in most cases is more
useful than quitting the debugger upon program’s exit.
cheers,
Jeff
