[regression]
My current debugging of a python application stopped working. I even tried a simple one line print and it fails with the same error message as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for reaching out. Older version of VS doesn't support the latest version of Python. You'd have to use an older version of Python like 3.9.

Visual Studio 17.13 will have support for 3.13. If you update to the latest preview version of Visual Studio, it should also work.
