As of {ref}`1.6.1 (above) <v1-6-1>`, `tmuxp shell` will find the most
feature-rich shell available. If you have [ipython], or
[bpython] available, it will be selected automatically. Pass `--pdb`
to use standard library pdb, or `--code` to use `code.interact`.
In python 3.7+, supports `PYTHONBREAKPOINT`:
{code-block} sh
$ pip install --user ipdb
$ env PYTHONBREAKPOINT=ipdb.set_trace tmuxp shell
You can execute python directly via `-c`:
{code-block} sh
$ tmuxp shell -c 'print(session.name); print(window.name)'
my_server
my_window
$ tmuxp shell my_server -c 'print(session.name); print(window.name)'
my_server
my_window
$ tmuxp shell my_server my_window -c 'print(session.name); print(window.name)'
my_server
my_window
$ tmuxp shell my_server my_window -c 'print(window.name.upper())'
