I'm following Microsoft's guide Getting Started with Python in VS Code, but can only run in debug mode once -- the following run will always hit a time out issue.

This is the hello.py

msg = "Hello World"
print(msg)

This is the launch.json, which basically only added "stopOnEntry": true so will stop at the first line of code during debugging:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [        
        {
            "name": "Python: Current File",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "stopOnEntry": true
        }
    ]
}

So my first round of debugging works, the terminal inside Visual Studio Code shows:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Playground\vscode\py\ms>c:/Playground/vscode/py/ms/env/Scripts/activate.bat
(env) C:\Playground\vscode\py\ms>cd c:\Playground\vscode\py\ms && cmd /C "set "PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8" && set "PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1" && c:\Playground\vscode\py\ms\env\Scripts\python.exe c:\Users\drlren\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2019.5.18875\pythonFiles\ptvsd_launcher.py --default --client --host localhost --port 58792 c:\Playground\vscode\py\ms\hello.py "
Hello World

However, if I click debug button again, it jammed, showing an error dialogue:

[Window Title]
Visual Studio Code

[Content]
timeout

[Open launch.json] [Cancel]

, and Terminal inside vscode shows:

(env) C:\Playground\vscode\py\ms>cd c:\Playground\vscode\py\ms && cmd /C "set "PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8" && set "PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1" && c:\Playground\vscode\py\ms\env\Scripts\python.exe c:\Users\drlren\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2019.5.18875\pythonFiles\ptvsd_launcher.py --default --client --host localhost --port 58798 c:\Playground\vscode\py\ms\hello.py "

What happened? and how can I sort it out?

I resolved this issue changing the terminal from "bash" to "Command prompt" (cmd).

And how to do that?
When you open a terminal console, at the top right you will see a drop-down list with the different terminal options you have available.

I had the same timeout problem on VS Code with a freshly installed Python Extension by Microsoft. What I did was installing the plugin and then immediately try to debug a file, which ended in a ConnectionRefusedError.

To resolve, I simply restarted VS Code.

Please define the python plugin used since there are several options available.
