PTVS plugin for python embedded applications

Question

For an application that "implements" python, can I use the PTVS plugin for debugging in mixed mode? To be more specific, let's say that there is an executable file (written in C / C ++) called "my_executable" that can be run from the command line, with the ability to run a python script file:

./my_executable -exec_script some_script_file.py

In this case, is it possible to use the PTVS plugin for debugging in mixed mode?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, this is supported if you join the process via Debug -> Attach to Process and simultaneously enable both Python and Native.
