This is not a question but just sharing something I discovered:

The vscode Python debuugger is amazing.

For many years a combination of pdb and iPythom was all I ever used. But a few days ago I asked the old google if there was a better way and it was revealed to me.

I don’t have a link to share at the moment but it’s easy to find - and I’m probably in the minority of people here but maybe there’s somebody here who just hasn’t thought to look.
