Yes, sorry. This is a known, but admittedly not documented, limitation of the current package. As far as I could tell debugpy was effectively treated as an optional feature (all imports seem to be protected with try-catch, etc), despite being listed as install_requires. > Furthermore, there is no python3-debugpy package yet in Debian.

I looked briefly into packaging debugpy and I think it's probably doable but looks like a reasonable amount of work (embedded vendored stuff, cython). I don't have time to take that on at the moment, but I'd be very happy if you're willing to. Gordon
