title: How to debug a specific binary using VS Code on Ubuntu
body: <p>I want to debug a Python binary which then calls scipy C++ modules (I want to step those) as suggested <a href="https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/hacking.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="scipy">here</a>. I can successfully do that with command line gdb using</p>
  
  <pre><code>gdb --args python runtests.py -g --python mytest.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I can do the same in eclipse by setting the binary as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/python3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and debugger's arguments as </p>
  
  <pre><code>runtests.py -g --python mytest.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can I do this somehow in Visual Studio Code?</p>
