Environmental variables are set to strings, not objects. It is not clear how you intend to handle the conversion.
The environment variable names a module import path. Without quibbling about the details of the syntax (because honestly, I’m not convinced it’s a useful feature), it would work roughly like:
- The default value is equivalent to PYTHONBREAKPOINTHOOK=pdb.set_trace
- breakpoint() splits the value on the rightmost dot
- modules on the LHS are imported, then the RHS is getattr’d out of that
- That’s the callable breakpoint() calls
