Python debugging with gunicorn doesn't work

User reported from Slack:

Hey! Using the Cloud Code IntelliJ extension in PyCharm to try and get skaffold pydev working in IDE. It brings up my services, connects the pydev debugger just fine, etc. However, hitting any kind of exception does not appear to actually invoke the debugger, nor does setting any breakpoints. I have my mappings set up correctly, best I can tell, and I can pause the program just fine. Any further debugging tips here? Using gunicorn, as well, if relevant!

See thread for more details.

The problem is that pydevd doesn't ship with darwin arm64 .dylib

There's a hint that FabioZ would accept patches to enable compilation for the CI system, but I don't have bandwidth to even try fabioz/PyDev.Debugger#201 (comment)
