debugpy is Microsoft's Python debugger implementing the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP). It supports running scripts with debugging enabled, attaching to running processes, and remote debugging from DAP clients like VS Code.
Use cases
- debug a python script from vscode
- attach debugger to a running python process
- remote debugging of python code over the network
- step through python code with breakpoints
- debug a python module with wait-for-client
When to choose
- you need DAP-compatible debugging for Python in editors like VS Code
- you want to attach to an already-running Python process
- you need remote debugging of Python applications
When to avoid
- you only need simple print-based logging
- you are debugging non-Python code
- you need a graphical debugger outside of DAP-based tooling
