Run Python console after script execution in same environment

Is there a way to execute a Python script, yet stay in the Python shell thereafter, so that variable values could be inspected and such?

For those who use IPython you can use the embed() function for some extra flexibility since it allows you to drop into a shell anywhere in your program:

from IPython import embed

def some_function(args):
    # ... do stuff ...

    embed() # drop to shell here

    # ... back to the function ...

Metaphox nailed it:

I think you are looking for python -i ./file.py, where the -i flag will enter interactive mode after executing the file. If you are already in the console, then execfile. – Metaphox 2 mins ago

But I want to thank for the other suggestions as well, which go beyond the original question yet are useful!
