The truth is that I don't know. Upstream is very good, but the Python 3.11 internal changes are very significant, and debugpy (along with pydevd, which is part of debugpy) are deeply affected by this, as they work at the level of Python's internals. So I don't know how long it will take them to make the required changes (and it's far beyond my capability or capacity to do myself). I can hope they'll do it in time for the freeze, but I wouldn't like to place a bet on it. Best wishes, Julian
