Yes, and it’s pretty handy. The first thing you need to do is be sure your autoexec.cfg has a line like this: pycmd_register mysecretname This registers mysecretname as your Python command. Please choose a different name for security reasons. This will “pause” the game while you work in the interactive prompt: mysecretname import code mysecretname code.interact() Once you’ve done that, you can than do whatever you’d like: >>> import playerlib >>> import es >>> x = playerlib.getPlayerList() >>> print x [, , , ] >>> x[0].get(“health”) 100 >>> x[0].set(“health”, 1) None >>> x[0].get(“health”) 1 Some people have reported the prompt doesn’t work so well on some Linux flavors, but it will work with a local Windows srcds if you change its command-line options to include -console.
