I'm using VSCode v1.69.0. My OS is MacOS v10.15.7 (Catalina).

I have a Python code that I'm usually debugging with VSCode Python debugger (using the launch.json file).

For no apparent reason the debugger recently stopped working, i.e. when I click on "Run Debug", the debug icons (stop, resume, step over etc.) show up for 1 second, then disappear and nothing else happens. There is no error message in the terminal or anything (no command is launched apparently).

I tried to uninstall VSCode and reinstall it => no success. I deleted the Python extension in /userprofile/.vscode/extensions and then reinstalled it (both the current v2022.10.1 and pre-release v2022.11.12011103) => no success.

The python program runs properly on another IDE.

Any idea?

If you are using python3.6 version then latest version of debugger no longer supports it.

You can use the historical version 2022.08.*. Or use a new python version.

Is it possible to support jupyter notebook feature as well for latest VSCode + Python extension 2022.08.*? I'm stuck to using python 3.6 on Ubuntu 18.04, but I cannot find a jupyter extension version that can successfully select kernel in latest VSCode (v1.82.2).
Hello, how to select debugger version?
