Execute the (one-line) statement in the context of the current stack frame. The exclamation point can be omitted unless the first word of the statement resembles a debugger command. To set a global variable, you can prefix the assignment command with a "global" command on the same line, e.g.:
(Pydb) global list_options; list_options = ['-l'] (Pydb)
Enter a recursive debugger that steps through the code argument (which is an arbitrary expression or statement to be executed in the current environment). The prompt is changed to indicate nested behavior. See 1.2
