Debug Python code thats in a PIP package in VS Code

Question

My debugging is setup in VS code, I can hit break points in the file I'm running via the launch.json config, but I can't get breakpoints in packages that are installed with PIP. How do I get breakpoints in these package files?

If you are going to try altering source code of the packages even if you are just adding a break point I strongly recommend doing it on a virtual environment. — Meto

In addition to File -> Add folder to workspace I had to add this line to launch.json

"justMyCode": false

If you know where you python installation is on your computer do this:

Know where you python packets were installed.
File -> add folder to workspace
Add the breakpoints where necessary.

As an alternative i would advise to create a virtual environment and do the same thing but with the safety of virtual environment. Hope that helps.
