[IPython-User] Hang when inspecting with IPython.embed()

[Jean-François Caron]

Hi, I have a script which I normally run with the python interpreter.  I'm trying to debug by putting in an IPython.embed() statement (which has worked in the past), but when I try to print variables, everything just hangs and I have to kill my terminal.  If i just put the print statements in the code before IPython.embed(), it works fine.  Any idea why this would be?

My code is here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jfcaron/+junk/TRIUMFBeamTest/view/head:/cluster_analysis/FOMplots.py

and I'm putting the IPython.embed() statement on line 924 for example, but it happens at other locations.  ROOT is a python module interfacing with the CERN ROOT C++ program.  

I'm using python 2.7.3, python 0.13.1, ROOT 5.34/04, on Mac OS 10.7.5, everything installed from MacPorts.

Thanks,
Jean-François
