interpreterInterface = getattr(__builtin__, 'interpreter')
AttributeError: module 'builtins' has no attribute 'interpreter'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

When I start doing this for a whole new python file, everything works out well, but instead of the >>> what is prompted is

Where is the difference coming from and what can I do to use the debug console in the first case?
>>> refers to the Python console while

is the IPython console, a kind of console on steroids.
Sometimes, a strange import can crash one thing and not the other. Maybe you could check on this one.
