I would like to debug some of the basic packages that come with the Python install and/or are built-in packages, including pip and venv.
The desire comes from an error message of file permissions (unable to access a file with an "unprintable file name") some of my team is getting running these commands - see this question for details.
Question
How do you debug the Python source code when trying to catch issues in the main python executable, or when directly running a base python module (see following examples for pip and venv)?
$ python -m pip install --upgrade
$ python -m venv .venv
If it matters, my environment is VSCode, where I am happily able to engage the debugger on any custom script I have written, using the built-in debugger that interacts (I assume) with the main Microsoft Python extension.
