As others have said it isn't. This is what I do:
I make sure my scripts are on the form:
# imports
# global initialization (not depending on sys.argv)
def main():
# initialization (might depend on sys.argv)
# script logic
# other functions
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Then I have a trivial debug script named debug_whatever.py, which I
use as my entry point during debugging:
# debug_whatever.py:
import sys
sys.argv[1:] = ['arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3']
import whatever
whatever.main()
