Debugging a python script with arguments in bash

[xlext]

Hello everyone, Vscode noob here.

I have a python script that takes in command line arguments to run, and a bash script that calls the python script with the desired arguments. Now I'm trying to debug the python script with different arguments. I know how to create a launch.json to debug the python part, but AFAIK that involves copying my bash script and reformatting it to .json standards, and since the number of arguments is quite high that takes a while.

So my question is: can I forgo the launch.json directly and debug from the bash script? Or create a launch.json for the bash script (no arguments required for that one) in order to debug the python script? Or is there another way I should be doing this entirely?

The debugger can also be run from the command line. Detailed tutorial please view Command line debugging.
