Unable to debug and select interpreter

[Arpitx]

Environment data

• VS Code version: < 1.21.0 >
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): < Python Microsoft 2018.2.1 (9th March 2018)>
• OS and version: < Windows 10 1709 Home>
• Python version: < 3.6.4 >
• Type of virtual environment used (if applicable): <N/A >
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: <Python Microsoft 2018.2.1 (9th March 2018) >

Actual behavior

< After Feb 2018 V-1.21 update, debugger option is not working (I've created folder) and it's showing error 'Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly'.
Also I cannot select the interpreter from the command palette, and it shows error message:
"command 'python.setInterpreter' not found". I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling vs code and also disabled the extensions and then checked for running the code either in debugger mode and integrated terminal but nothing works. >

Expected behavior

< Debugger should work perfectly fine and show the tray consisting of start stop and pull over buttons to carry out the debugging session, also by using the combination ctrl + shift + p and choosing the interpreter it should have shown me the current python interpreter installed in my system which it showed earlier perfectly before the latest update >

Steps to reproduce:

1. < I've just enabled the Python extension from Microsoft and disabled other extensions, to re-create the whole scenario, a zip file is attached. >

Looks like the installation of your Python extension is corrupted.
Please could you uninstall the Python extension, re-install it.
If it still doesn't work, then go into the Extensions directory, delete the Python extension folder and reinstall. (use the command Extensions: Open Extensions Folder to go into the extensions folder)

To keep things simple, please do not debug (lets focus our testing to one area):

• Open a python file
• Go into the command Select Python Interpreter
• Ensure this works before proceeding

Thank you very much Sir, your second method i.e. deleting the python extension from python extension folder worked and the code is working normally from the context menu option "Run file in terminal", and select interpreter is also working fine and it showed me to choose the python interpreter installed into my system, Loads of thanks. :)
But now coming to Debugger section, it is showing the error "Time out waiting for debugger connection."
I've attached a .zip file to explain my case.

Please could you try debugging a simple python file as follows:
print("Hello World")

[Arpitx]

Sir, it is showing the same error as above, "Time out waiting for debugger connection."
And I'm using Python Experimental: Current file (Integrated Terminal)

But then I deleted the .vscode file in my folder and re-run the debugger and it worked fine and showing the debugger tray on the top of my workspace and printed Hello World.

When I used the integrated debugger for my turtle code the debugger worked fine and accepted the inputs perfectly, But when I try to run my turtle code again (via debugger and choosing Python current file as debugger option), it gets stuck after my first input (I know this is irrelevant to the question but if you could help, it would be a great deal), I've attached a .zip file for the same.

P.S. My doubt is cleared regarding aforementioned case, but just wanted to ask the same for the debugging option via Python current file and why my code (which consists of input in turtle code) gets stuck using debugger option as Python current file.

And I'm using Python Experimental: Current file (Integrated Terminal)

When using the Experimental Debugger, you need to have PTVSD 4 installed in your python environment:
Install PTVSD 4: pip install ptvsd --pre

it gets stuck after my first input (I know this is irrelevant to the question but if you could help, it would be a great deal),

You need to use the Python: Integrated Terminal to capture input (i.e. use the terminal when debugging)

Please let me know if this resolves your issues

[Arpitx]

As stated by you, I installed PTVSD 4 using terminal in vs code and then again when I re-run the file using Experimental debugger (current file), it again gets stuck when arrived at first input.
But I think most of my task can be achieved using integrated terminal and external terminal, so no worries regarding whether current file debugger works or not.
Thanks a ton for your support @DonJayamanne :)
