Alguém pode explicar isso? (Python 2.7, Django 1.7)

foo = data['selected_items']
(Pdb) foo
(Pdb) *** NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
foo
(Pdb) u'1,2'
foo
(Pdb) *** NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
foo
(Pdb) u'1,2'
foo
(Pdb) *** NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
foo
(Pdb) u'1,2'

Aqui está a função de exibição que a acionou:

def process_form(request, model_name):
    form = BulkEditForm(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
        data = form.clean()

        if data['select_all']:
            pass
        else:
            import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

request.POST:

{'select_all': False, 'primary_tech': <Person: Bob>, 'primary_biz': <Person: Mary>, 'selected_items': u'1,2', 'backup_tech': None, 'backup_biz': None}
