How debuggers work

There are many forms of debugging in the Jupyter extension. This page seeks to describe how they all work from the extension developer's point of view.

The known forms of debugging are:

• Launching a python script in the debugger (not really this extension, but a good way to describe how debugging works in VS code)
• Debugging a cell in the interactive window
• Debugging a cell in a notebook
• Running by line in a cell of a notebook
