title: Is there any way to view entire contents of variable in Python IDLE Debugger?
body: <p>I am trying to view the <em>entire</em> contents of a variable in the IDLE Debugger for Python 3.6.1. The debugger gives a preview but there appears to be no way to pull all the data out from the debugger.</p>
  <p>The only work-around I've found is to throw a <code>print()</code> statement in the code somewhere. Is this the only way? See picture:

  <p>This example's <code>decryptedText</code> variable has over 700 characters but as we see, only a few are visible. Thanks.</p>
