Request

Sometimes I want to run a command, that includes command line flags and parameters, quickly in a debugger and use vscode as the debugger. I usually use pdb, ipdb or pudb, but I would much rather use vscode to set breakpoints and the such. I would like to see a way to run an arbitrary command and debug the python program. As of now, I would have to modify the workspace settings to include flags or something like that.

Another example is having command line applications defined in setup.py that point to module entry points that I would like to be able to run easily with arguments in the debugger.
