As an alternative - watchdog watchmedo works, except i have to reattach the VS Code debugger....

watchmedo auto-restart -d ./src/python -R -p '*.py' -- pants run --debug-adapter src/python/services/api/main.py

Any other thoughts?

tried combining that with

autoReload

in vs code

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Attach to process",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "attach",
            "connect": {
                "host": "127.0.0.1",
                "port": 5678
            },
            "pathMappings": [
                {
                    "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
                    "remoteRoot": "."
                }
            ],
            "justMyCode": true,
            "redirectOutput": true,
            "autoReload": {
                "enable": true,
                "exclude": [
                    "**/.git/**",
                    "**/__pycache__/**",
                    "**/.pants.d/**",
                    "**/.vscode/**",
                    "**/dist/**",
                    "**/scripts/**",
                    "**/.mypy_cache/**",
                    "**/site-packages/**",
                    "**/src/docker/**",
                ],
                "include": [
                    "**/*.py",
                    "**/*.pyw"
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

and it tries to reload but vs code errors out with:

code reload: Unable to find module anyio._backends._asyncio to reload for path: /users/<path to src>/python/services/api/main.py

so looks like it's trying to handle too much instead of just re-attaching

probably because it's trying to allow code to be modified while at a break-point and then continue executing the modified code....I just want a simple re-attach without button clicking at minimum. The other would be great, but is likely more complex and beyond what's supported right now.
