Can't debug locust script with python 3.12

Question

I'm using locust 2.29.1 for my performance tests.

It works fine on Python 3.11.8 but now I'm trying to move to Python 3.12.4 and can't debug because it's freezing on the line with import locust. Gevent compatible in PyCharm settings is checked. And I don't have any exceptions during script running.

Here is the error output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1360, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1331, in _find_and_load_unlocked

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

python-BaseException

In the locust documentation, I didn't find any suggestions.

Try these steps to get rid of the problem:

1. in Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S) -> type "Python Debugger" in the search field -> enable "Gevent Compatible".

2. in Actions (Ctrl+Shift+A) -> type "Registry..." -> disable "python.debug.low.impact.monitoring.api".
   And retry debugging.

It helped me. Debug is working again now.
