You've been dropped into the python debugger.  I'd suspect you've hit a 
'import pdb; pdb.set_trace()' or similar line.

You can type in 'l'  (lower case L) to see the context (you may need to 
's' (step) to the appropriate line depending on your version of python.)

Alternately, use 'c' to allow the script to continue processing.

Otherwise, you'll need to complete debugging the code (as indicated by 
the break) or comment out/remove the set_trace.
