Actually, there is a very simple option to do this I found by accident while trying to edit the launch.json file.
"type": "python",
"request": "launch",
"pythonPath": "D:\\ProgramData\\Anaconda3\\envs\\simulec\\python.exe",
"module": "my_module.my_file",
Simply specify the module in the module key "module": "my_module.my_file"
The -m is not useful any more.

To add slightly to dzada's answer, which helped me a lot, a Visual Studio Code variable can be used to make this general for debugging any file that is in your module.
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python: Module",
"type": "python",
"request": "launch",
"module": "my_module.${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
}
]
}
Which is probably what you want to do.

July 31, 2022 -
Hello - i would like to debug my pyhon - programs using vscode -
But how can i choose the correct venv-environment for running the program?
It seems that when i start the Debugging that it allways take the default configuration - and there are not all python-modules i need for the program - cause they are installed only in the venv.
How can i choose the venv for debugging?

Have you selected the venv as your project interpreter? If not, ctrl+shift+p, search for interpreter and change the interpreter to the one you want. That should work I think

Put your program in a folder, add it to a workspace, create a virtual environment under the folder, click the lower right to chose which interpreter to use, click the venv you created. You might have to click the bottom option that says something like, "for workspace" vs "for folder". It should make that workspace do pretty much everything in the venv by default. Note that if you save the workspace, close VS, and reopen it, it may relaunch old terminal windows but they seem to launch into the system as opposed to the venv. Either manually switch them to the venv, or close and reopen them.
