Q:

PyCharm: attach console to debugger

In PyCharm, it is possible to attach a debugger to an interactive console session run in PyCharm.
Is it possible to do the opposite? That means: attach an interactive console to a program paused at a debugging breakpoint so that I can issue interactive commands that work with the current debugging context.

A:

You can make the interactive shell available during your debugging by using the "Console" tab per what is explained in the PyCharm doc here
When you access the 'Console' tab, be sure to enable the "Show Python Prompt" and "Enable Soft Wraps".
