Version 0.21.0

Features

Pause a running script with lager.pause(). Drop lager.pause("why") anywhere in a lager python script and it stops at that line mid-run, so you can check the bench from another terminal before it continues — useful for a long test that reaches a known trouble spot. A paused script doesn’t lock the box, so your other lager commands (read a supply, toggle a GPIO, check a net) keep working while it waits.
Resume however suits you. Press Enter in the script’s terminal, run lager python --continue <id> --box <box> from anywhere, or just walk away — it auto-resumes after 5 minutes by default so an unattended run never hangs. The pause prints the id and the exact resume commands.
Inspect the paused script with a live Python console. Add pause(interactive=True) and connect with lager python --console <id> --box <box> to get a Python prompt running inside the paused script — read any of its variables, evaluate expressions, or call its functions. This is also how you read a device the script is holding open (e.g. a LabJack), since the console runs in the same process.

The built-in breakpoint() now works in lager python scripts. It previously errored out; calling breakpoint() now triggers the same interactive pause as lager.pause().
Tune or disable the auto-resume. Set a longer (or shorter) wait with pause("...", timeout=1800) or lager python ... --env LAGER_BREAKPOINT_TIMEOUT=1800; use timeout=0 to wait indefinitely; set LAGER_BREAKPOINTS=off to turn every breakpoint into a no-op for a clean run.

See the Breakpoints guide for the full reference and a worked example.
