debug python versions < 3.5 with vscode new debugger

Question

In recent vscode versions, the Python extension now uses debugpy as the default python debugger, replacing the old ptvsd.

I need to debug a python script in a software program that works with python 3.2 and not with newer versions. Unfortunately, debugpy works only with python > 3.4.

Is there a way to use another debugger, or to choose which debugger to use, in vscode python extension? In other terms, is it possible to debug python < 3.5 scripts in vscode?

Answer 1

Yes, you need to downgrade the version of Python used by VSCode. In the extensions find Python and install another version.
