Is there any way of doing realtime debugging of Python scripts/add-ins on MacOS?

Hi @darran .

Can't solve it here?

I figured that this topic was more general than the other focused question (though maybe they are one at the same).

What tools are available for developing scripts/add-ins on MacOS? For example, can I at least determine if a script byte-compiles properly (i.e., is syntactically correct)? Can I see the script IO, say in a log file? And ideally, can I step through a python code line by line and use introspection to watch things happen?

I can debug as usual. (Win10)

As for ms-python extension of VSCode, Ver2019.9.34911 is recommended.
