[Enhancement] Allow stepping into external libraries

[jamesqo]

I'm trying to debug an issue I'm having with an external library. When I try "Step Into" on the line that calls into that library, however, it steps over the call. Would it be possible to add a feature allowing users to actually step into external code?

Thanks.

Have you tried with our experimental debugger? We just released 2018.3.0 and it has it bundled with it and I think it should do what you want.

@brettcannon How do I use the experimental debugger? I see the python.unitTest.useExperimentalDebugger option but I want to debug my app directly.

Found #538 and followed the instructions, VSCode is saying Configured debug type 'pythonExperimental' is not supported.

That's not the setting you need to use. Please open your launch.json file and change the type from python to pythonExperimental.
Also please ensure you have updated your extension to the latest version.
Finally please provide the information you failed to fill in when creating the issue.
