Can I use pdb for custom Python script debugging?

[zchrissirhcz]

Hi, vscode-lldb authors and users,

I'm trying to write my hello-world level python script for lldb debugging, and wonder if I can use pdb in VSCode lldb REPL subwindow for debugging?

To be precise, I write this simple ~/.lldbcfg/hello.py:

def your_first_command(debugger, command, result, internal_dict): 
    import pdb;
    pdb.set_trace()
    print ("hello world!")

def __lldb_init_module(debugger, internal_dict):
    debugger.HandleCommand('command script add -f hello.your_first_command yay')

And load this script int the lldb config file:

command script import ~/.lldbcfg/hello.py

And start a new lldb debugging in VSCode,

Question: does this snapshot means I'm doing in the wrong way for hello.py debugging, or does it mean codelldb enabled REPL subwindow does not support pdb debugging?

AFAIK, pdb needs a real tty, which VSCode's debug console is not.
I usually debug python code inside codelldb using debugpy + VSCode Python extension.

Thank you! I'll have a try

Forgot to mention: you'll need to use debugpy.configure(python='python3') to specify path of the Python interpreter.
