extreme truncating of return values

[ernop]

while stepping through a function, when printing return values, ipython truncates them quite a bit - you get things like

<Context...ble.txt'>

Where in the code is this done? I haven't been able to find it. I want to give it more room - at least 80 chars wide would be fine.

Can you give an example session that demonstrates this? I don't think I've seen it.

def test():
    import ipdb;ipdb.set_trace()
    return '123456789012---------------------------------1234567890123'

test()

if you run this, then do 'n':

ipdb> n
--Return--
'123456789012...1234567890123'

It truncates to 28 characters. My original example was a django error where it truncated a bit more.

But both of these are too much, I think. I have lots of columns & want to use them.

Ah, debugging, right. No, I don't know what's doing that. I've had a look through IPython.core.debugger and I can't see anything about truncation.
