[bug] Debugger not attach to python node

[rickstaa]

general information
OS version: Ubuntu 18.04
Plugin version: 0.6.2

what is the bug
When trying to attach to a python ROS node nothing happens.

expected behaviour
The vscode ROS extension successfully attaches to the running python ROS node.

steps to reproduce

1. Clone the rospy example repository.
2. Build the catkin workspace
3. Source the catkin workspace
4. Open visual studio code
5. Open a system terminal.
6. Start the ros talker node using rosrun my_robot_pkg talker.py inside the system terminal.
7. Start the ros listener node using rosrun my_robot_pkg listener.py inside the system terminal.
8. Add the ROS attach option to your launch.json file.
9. Try to attach to the ROS python node using python->listener.py.

additional info
This behaviour is present both in the stable python debugger as well as the new insiders python debugger. The vscode OUTPUT window doesn't display any error or warning message.

@rickstaa Sorry for the long overdue. Is it still reproducible? I tried the following combination and I can attach and debug the Python node with your example.

Platform: Ubuntu 18.04

Hi, I have encountered the same situation, it cannot attach to the listener or talker node.
