Nothing special needs to be done for python.

How to configure DAP for python

Please note that this section has nothing to do with compiler.nvim. I'm documenting this to make your life easier. To debug python with DAP you have to:

  • Install pydebug using Mason, or manually with: :MasonInstall [email protected].
  • Then add the python adapter and configuration to the dap plugin config like
local dap = require("dap")

-- Python
dap.adapters.python = {
  type = 'executable',
  command = vim.fn.stdpath('data')..'/mason/packages/debugpy/venv/bin/python',
  args = { '-m', 'debugpy.adapter' },
}
dap.configurations.python = {
  {
    type = "python",
    request = "launch",
    name = "Launch file",
    program = "${file}",
  },
}

All there is left to do is adding a breakpoint to your code, and run :DapContinue screenshot_2023-08-07_20-43-39_375625350

Note that mason installs pydebug for you using pip. You don't need to do it manually.
