Hi @Racel_Williams. Sorry I missed your second msg. I don’t really know C# well enough to be able to contribute to Core at this time, but anyone is more than welcome to borrow from this and create better implementations.

A few people asked me for clarification on how to use the Console, so I am adding more details below:

## How to use RPW’s Console to debug python code:

### 1. Install RevitPythonWrapper (rpw) through the package manager

##### Note: Note that rpw package ships with a `GettingStarted.dyn` you can use to familiarize yourself with how it’s used withing Dynamo.

### 2. Build the graph below using RPW\_GetFilePath and python node.

```
import sys
sys.path.append(IN[0]) # Assumes RPW_GetFilePath output is IN[0]

from rpw.ui.forms import Console

for i in range(10):
	if i ==5:
		Console(context=locals())

```
