Hi
Does somebody have ever experienced using pvbatch with vscode + its debugger (debugpy)?
Indeed, ‘debugpy’ has not been included into Paraview python packages (it has been installed into my venv but the process is here a pvbatch child)
```auto
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'debugpy'
```
Thanks for your time
Paul

See the following blog on how to use a venv to include additional packages, including matching venv package versions with package versions included in paraview:

Or use `pdb` instead.
