Summary: PyCrust problem with GLOBALs

Initial Comment:
I think PyCrust is the greatest invention ever!

I am working on a simple script that parses a text file and splits it into a number of .html pages.


This is what I do:
>>> import os
>>> os.chdir("/Users/ivan/Projects/sec5/")
>>> execfile("splitter.py")
>>> a 

FREEZEAS! and top shows Python spinning at 100% cpu.

a is a global variable i want to use now to continue development... but the whole program freezes.

If I change "a" to be a local variable then the program runs fine but i can't access the data I need.


I think it might be one of the very useful features which explores the context.


Please let me know if I can help.

The value in the 'a' variable contains almost 2 megabytes of text, which
if you try to evaluate it like that Python will print it all on one line. 
The Scintilla editor component (which PyCrust is built upon) doesn't do
very well with very long lines when word-wrap is turned on.  You can turn
off word-wrap in PyCrust by running shell.wrap(False) but I expect that it
will still have troubles with that much data on one line.  Compounding the
problem is the fact that PyCrust is also updating the Namespace viewer and
other things in the Filling panel in the background, refilling the tree
every time something changes in the shell.
