Resume code execution from code.interact() in Python

After opening an interactive console while debugging using 

code.interact(local=locals())

How can I resume code execution. I have checked the docs for the 'code' module and search stack overflow but cannot find anything.

If you want to use code snippets in your IDE (vscode, etc), in python3 the contextlib.suppress() is a great way to make your debug snippet a one-liner so you can continue with exit().

# At the top of you code
import code
from contextlib import suppress

# At the point of debugging
need_to_debug = 'lorem ipsum'
with suppress(SystemExit): code.interact(local=dict(globals(), **locals()))

It's the same way you exit any Python interpreter session: send an end-of-file character.

That's Ctrl-D on Linux or Ctrl-Z Enter on Windows.

If like me you always forget to hit Ctrl-D, you can wrap up your prompt in a try/except block:

try:
    code.interact(local=locals())
except SystemExit:
    pass
