I'm trying to use my external terminal on my local computer to as the console in a debugging session for Python running on a remote machine. I've successfully attached to a debugpy invocation I ran over ssh, but I expected that then in that terminal I would have a console session, but it looks like instead debugpy is just acting as an engine which VSCode attaches to for its regular debug functionality.
I've tried using a "launch" style debug session with "externalTerminal" specified but I don't know how I'd tell VSCode to run in the terminal which isn't even running on that machine.
Unfortunately, there's currently no way to redirect the Python REPL from a remote debugpy session to a local terminal.
If you want to interact with the remote Python process through a console, you can use Remote-SSH or Jupyter-notebook.
