Try this in XSI:

for i in range (0,12):
if i == 3:
import pywin.debugger
pywin.debugger.brk()
Application.LogMessage(i)

After outputting a few values, a debugger should pop-up. It has all the
traditionnal debugger windows:

Interactive shell:
In the shell, try changing the value of "i" before hitting F10 to step and see
your new value being LogMessaged.

You can also control and experiment with XSI from the shell, just try:

[Dbg]>>> oSphere = Application.CreatePrim("Sphere","MeshSurface")
[Dbg]>>> oSphere.radius = 2
[Dbg]>>>

Variable browser:
you can explore all local and global variables.

Watch window:
enter any expression and see it update as you step.

Enjoy!
Jerry.
