Its not perfect but I use in sitecustomize
def precmd(self,l):
if '.' in l:
if l[:1]!='!':l='!'+l
return l
if l in self.curframe.f_locals:
return '!'+l
if l.startswith('@'): return l[1:]
return l
import pdb
pdb.Pdb.precmd = precmd
What this does is
q ->variable q if it exists else quit command
@q ->always quit
!q ->always variable
