Python and PyGame (how do I check variable values with PyScripter + PyGame)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I posted a problem earlier about PyGame and that it crashes PyScripter. I was 
told to reinitialize which works. However, if I do so I can't check the values 
of the variables using the IDE. Is there a way to do this after you've 
reinitialized Python (to prevent PyGame from crashing PyScripter)?

Thanks.

I suppose you want to check variable values during or after execution not 
before.  The engine is reinitialized before you run your PyGame script.  After 
your script completes you can view values using the Variable Window or the 
Interpreter.

Or else use the debugger with breakpoints to see variable values during 
execution.

To close the PyGame window I have to reinitialize Python, so it reinitializes 
twice I guess. When I do that, I can't check the variables.

What prevents you from checking the values before you close it?

If you mean what happens when I have it up and try to check a variable, then 
nothing. I can't even do a simple 1+1, nothing shows up (and Windows 7 plays a 
sound). If I try to close the game window it starts to lag and eventually 
PyScripter is not responding unless I don't reinitialize.

Can you post here a sample script so that I can have a look?

I tested it out with a very simple PyGame script (import pygame

hello = "hi"
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((468, 60)) ) and then I can see what hello is. 
It prints it successfully. So it seems that it's not something wrong with 
PyScripter itself I assume.

Any idea (sorry if I'm pushy)?

I fixed it now, there was something with my code (when you quit it didn't not 
quit well enough) that messed it up. So there's nothing wrong with PyScripter. 
You may close this.
