How do I tell pdb.run to use my current imports when running from a shell?

Question

I want to start a pdb session from the Python shell on a function using pdb.run(). I know that I can give it a globals or a locals parameter, but I don't know what values to pass so that I keep all of my current imports in the debugger session. pdb.run('myfunction()') doesn't seem to keep any previous imports I made in the shell.

I found the answer. You need to pass in the result of the locals() function:

pdb.run('myfunction()',locals())
