[NOTE: If you suspect that your issue is related to the Microsoft Python Language Server (python.languageServer: 'Microsoft'), please download our new language server Pylance from the VS Code marketplace to see if that fixes your issue] <-- I tried this

Expected behaviour

When using the debugger with "Python: Current File" configuration, the debugger handles processing input() properly and moves to the next breakpoint

Actual behaviour

When using the debugger with "Python: Current File" configuration, the debugger hangs upon processing input() and does not move to the next breakpoint

Workaround

Roll back to 2020.7.96456 version of python extension

Steps to reproduce:

[NOTE: Self-contained, minimal reproducing code samples are extremely helpful and will expedite addressing your issue]

1. Set a break point to the last line and use the debugger with "Python: Current File" configuration for the following code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

print("Hello!)
first_name = input("What is your first name?: ")
print(first_name)
