Is it possible to debug Iron Python with the Visual Studio Code Python Extension?

Is it possible to debug an Iron Python Script with the Visual Studio Code Python Extension?

I´ve set the Iron Python 2.7.11 Interpreter and tried to start to debug a small example script from the iron python docs.

import re
re.findall(r'\bf[a-z]*', 'which foot or hand fell fastest')
re.sub(r'(\b[a-z]+) \1', r'\1', 'cat in the the hat')

But nothing happens, the breakpoints were not hit.

Solution

  • The Debug function was provided by the Python extension.

    While the Python extension depends on:

    all actively supported versions of the language: >=3.6

    Iron Python 2.7.11 Interpreter looks like not supported.
