Debugging a mixed code of Python/C++ in Visual Studio (VS) Code

Viewed 319

I have a code in C++ that is called from a Python file. In order to look at the code and debug it, I use VS Code. I follow the instructions in https://nadiah.org/2020/03/01/example-debug-mixed-python-c-in-visual-studio-code/

However, I stuck in Step5 because when I try to attach GDB to Python, the terminal writes:

Python Exception <class 'ImportError'> This package should not be accessible on Python 3. Either you are trying to run from the python-future src folder or your installation of python-future is corrupted.:
/usr/bin/gdb: warning:
Could not load the Python gdb module from `/usr/share/gdb/python'. Limited Python support is available from the _gdb module. Suggest passing --data-directory=/path/to/gdb/data-directory.

I don't know whether the problem is the launch.jason or not. My launch.json is:

                }

        },
        {

            "request": "launch",

            "console": "integratedTerminal"
        }
    ]
}
