Using VS Code to debug python files. Exception thrown on breakpoint and breakpoint is ignored

Tried with multiple different python files. Every time I try to use the debugger in vs code and set breakpoints the breakpoint gets ignored and exception gets raised and the script continues on. I've been googling and tinkering for over 2 hours and can't seem to figure out what's going on here. Tried rebooting PC, running vs code as admin, uninstall/reinstall the python extension for vs code. Tried to dig into the files mentioned in the traceback and pinpointed the function that seems to be raising the exception but I can't figure out where it's being called from or why it's raising the exception. I'm still new-ish to Python. Debugging works properly on my laptop but for whatever reason my desktop is having this issue.

So I get this traceback every time a breakpoint is hit. Taking a peek at the "_original_file_to_client" function in "pydevd_file_utils.py" we get this:
def _original_file_to_client(filename, cache={}):
try:
return cache[filename]
except KeyError:
translated = _path_to_expected_str(get_path_with_real_case(_AbsFile(filename)))
cache[filename] = (translated, False)
return cache[filename]
I wasn't able to figure out where this function was being called from or what the expected output was supposed to be. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Forgot to mention I'm using Windows 10 if it wasn't obvious from the trace

This is a similar question. The spaces in the filename cause this problem:
"Local Settings", "application data"

python skype groupchat GET response error

I'm getting error in trying to communicate in a group chat via skype.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Python\Python38-32\ga.py", line 12, in
skc.recent()

skpy.core.SkypeApiException: ('404 response from GET https://azwus1-client-s.gateway.messenger.live.com/v1/threads/19:*********************', )
[Finished in 7.483s]
I'm just trying to test to send a simple chat to a groupchat but I'm not sure what is causing this error.
currently using this code
ch = sk.chats["19:***********************#thread.skype"] //due to privacy issue, i cant display the id
ch.sendMsg("testing")
whereas if I use the code this way for creating a new conversation,
ch = sk.contacts["live#123"].chat
ch.sendMsg("testing")
it will work.
Can someone enlighten me what is the issue with it? really appreciate a lot.

How to detect/trap error codes from convertapi so that my python app doesn't fail?

First, my apologies as a Python newbie that I'm asking this question. It probably has nothing at all to do with convertapi and more to do with my basic lack of understanding as to how to interact with APIs.
I'm reading a Google sheet to find embedded hyperlinks containing references to files (PDF, html, whatever) and then using convertapi to get a txt version so that I can do content analysis based on existence, count and proximity of various terms.
My question has to do with the convertapi.convert failing because (in this case) it turns out convertapi thinks the PDF is invalid (because I have tested the file # convertapi.com and it returned a 5002 error). I don't dispute the file may be bad - all I want to do is detect that convertapi.convert can't convert the file so that I can ignore it and move on.
My python code has a small function:
def convert_PDF_to_text(inputfilename):
result = convertapi.convert('txt', { 'File': inputfilename }, from_format = 'pdf')
result.save_files('converted_pdf_files')
...and while it works fine for some inputs there is a particular URL PDF that results in this output (including my own messages from program):
about to call convertapi.convert with filename (https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-06/documents/2016_policy_order_revision_6-10-16.pdf)
yes this is the specific file causing the problem: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-06/documents/2016_policy_order_revision_6-10-16.pdf

I know it should be obvious just from the errors what I should check...but I'm too much of a newbie to Python and APIs to know how to decipher.
How do I test for errors so that my Python code doesn't abort?
Thanks in advance and again sorry for the basic question - yes I did search for answers and don't find anyone addressing my question, it's likely too simple...

All - disregard. I used try: & except: to manage this.

hubspot3 client and "too many retries" error

I'm trying to pull the details for a contact from hubspot using the recipient's email. I'm using the python3 client "hubspot3" (https://github.com/jpetrucciani/hubspot3).
Here's the code I'm submitting:
import requests
from hubspot3.contacts import ContactsClient
API_KEY=[myapikey]
client=ContactsClient(api_key=API_KEY,debug=True)
email='mytest#gmail.com'
client.get_contact_by_email(email)
The response:
WARNING:root:Too many retries for /contacts/v1/contact/email/nwnippy27+cb1#gmail.com/profile?hapikey=[myapikey]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "hubspot_api_test.py", line 11, in <module>

raise HubspotNotFound(result, request)
hubspot3.error.HubspotNotFound:
Hubspot Error
I'm reading this error as saying that the email address can't be found. Is that correct? If not, I appreciate any intel on the cause and solution.

OK ... so not super useful, but it turned out that this is just the error message you get when the email doesn't exist. After a few tries it gives up, which is why you get the "too many retries" error.

Python + Tweepy, Status is a duplicate

Currently my Python + Tweep bot isn't working claiming the status is a duplicate. The exact error is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "helloworld.py", line 22, in <module>
api.update_status(line)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy/binder.py", line 230, in _call
return method.execute()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy/binder.py", line 203, in execute
raise TweepError(error_msg, resp)
tweepy.error.TweepError: [{u'message': u'Status is a duplicate.', u'code': 187}]
The bot source is here: https://ghostbin.com/paste/vbdn4 .
What can I add to work around this error?
Note that the first time running this there were no errors yet after stopping it and then going to run it again, I got this error.

you forget to step to the next line of the .txt file you're feeding in the for-loop (it does have multiple lines, doesn't it?), I guess....
I've got the same problem ;-) Tried to solve it with 3 different .txt files and give 3 args in a whlie loop, but this doesn't fly either.
We'll get there....
