Python remote debug support

[strobil]

Hello!

Are there any plans to introduce support for Python remote debugging in IDEs such as PyCharm and Visual Studio Code?

Hi, at the moment we are not working on any IDE plugins - but we welcome contributions :)

Hi @michalmodras,

The question wasn't about plugins, but rather about how to debug the code using breakpoints with this Docker image. I found a solution that works for me by installing and running sshd in the container. This allows IDEs like PyCharm to establish an SSH connection and set up a remote interpreter.

To enable this feature, it's necessary to forward an additional port for incoming SSH connections. If this solution is acceptable to you, I'd like to submit a pull request modifying entrypoint.sh and adding an additional configuration option, sshd_port.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hello @strobil, this sounds good to us, we will welcome your contribution. I think this feature should be disabled by default and enabled with a flag.
