If anyone has or knows of step-by-step instructions on how to set that debug

Hi Peter

Hopefully this document is able to help you get set up: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/python/debugging-mixed-mode-c-cpp-python-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2019

It gives you a few options, depending on whether you've created a Python project, a C++ project, or are attaching to a running process. Hopefully one of those will suit you. There are some videos out there as well, but they're a little older. (If you don't see Python projects, you'll need to go back to the Visual Studio installer, select the Python workload and the Python Native Development option.)

If you run into problems, there's a "Report a problem" (under Help/Send Feedback) inside VS that will get directly to the team, though most people are on vacation for the next few weeks. (And yes, "the official docs aren't good enough for me to follow" is a problem ;) )

Cheers,
Steve
