python交互式解释器是什么,Pycharm是否具有交互式Python解释器？

I am a fairly new Pycharm user switched from other IDEs recently.

One question I have is about the interactive python interpreter, which is the "window" I can type in variables to check them after I ran my script. Pyscripter has this thing called "Python interpreter" and I know Pycharm also has.

I tried "Python Console" under "Tools", but I don't think it's the same thing. So I am wondering how I can find this Python Interpreter in Pycharm? I am using Community version 3.

I'm using Pycharm community edition version 2016.1.2 I do the following to get an interactive prompt when debugging

Debug a file (put a breakpoint somewhere you want to work with)

In the debug window, there should be a 'Console' tab, select it

On the left tool bar of the console, there is a button 2nd from bottom "Show Python Prompt". Press it

You should now see an intereractive prompt you can use inside the console (allowing you to interact with the running code)

As mentioned in the OP, to just get an interactive python prompt outside a running script, in the main menu bar select Tools->Python Console

Magically this will appear:
