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"

Can't catch InvalidFileException

I'm trying to get a path of a file via filedialog from tkinter but instead of choosing a file I'm closing the window to browse for that file which makes my GUI go a bit crazy.
When I close the browsing window I see the following log:
Exception in Tkinter callback

What I want to do is restart the GUI ( or maybe eventually another action) when I close the browsing window
here's the bit of code that's supposed to handle the situation:
from tkinter import messagebox
from tkinter import filedialog
from openpyxl.utils.exceptions import InvalidFileException
...
def browseXLL(self,event):
try:
file = filedialog.askopenfilename()
except InvalidFileException:
self.window.destroy()
self.__init__()
but the error is n

Getting OSError when running script

I am trying to set up the ChirpSDK, but every time I configure and run the code, I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'ChirpSDK' object has no attribute '_sdk'
I realize that the error is saying that my .chirprc file is not being recognized, but I have no idea how to remedy this. I created a .chirprc file in my /Users/username/ path, and named it c.chirprc (as the Chirp getting started article suggests), but I am still getting this error. Is there another part that I am missing? Am I reading the instructions wrong?
Thanks

The Chirp configuration file should be placed at /Users/<username>/.chirprc on macOS.
If you run ls -l ~/.chirprc in the terminal, do you get any results? If it displays no such file or directory then you have not created the file correctly.

ImportError: No module named __main__ (Python 2.7 & Pickle)

So on my game I'm making, I'm trying to load the data files needed for the game, and when I load the file with pickle (The file has been loaded, I've double-checked that.) I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/user/Downloads/Deeper-master/Deeper.py", line 257, in <module>

I saw a question like this on Stack Overflow, but it's a little different than my situation, so sorry if this is a duplicate, I'm just trying to figure it out.
You can find my code here. The main script is Deeper.py, just to save time.

If you notice in your repo, you have a Deeper.pyc and Deeper.py. If I run Deeper.py, it raises the same exception as yours. If I run Deeper.pyc, it raises another exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Deeper.py", line 7, in <module>
ToolbarTile = pygame.image.load("ToolbarTile.png")
pygame.error: Couldn't open Toolbar Tile.png
So, the code (bytecode, some previous version) references ToolbarTile.png, but the exception is about Toolbar Tile.png (with a space). So I changed the file name to account for that.
Now it raises:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Deeper.py", line 766, in <module>
else:
File "Deeper.py", line 394, in __init__
def displayCraft(self):
pygame.error: Couldn't open options.png
There's an Options.png in your files, but it looks for options.png (lower case) (even your new code in Deeper.py looks for that). So I changed that.
Now it works, albeit with Deeper.pyc so that must be why you thought:
(The file has been loaded, I've double-checked that.)
Maybe delete the Deeper.pyc and do a git-bisect to see when the bug was introduced (ps: check your toolbar.dat, does it seem okay to you? Also check the way you're using pickle.load. Maybe you should use rb instead of r?)

Error for Next button in pywinauto using python

I have to currently install windows application, create a new database etc almost everyday when testing the Windows desktop software builds that I get.
To make this job easier, I've decided to use python with pywinauto to automate this process.
Currently I was just trying to write a sample script to automate just another application. Following is my code:
from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application().start(r"E:\New\any-video-converter.exe -a -n -y -- arguments")
dlg=app['Setup - Any Video Converter Professional']
Now I wanted to click on the 'Next >' button on the setup so I added the following to my code:
app.dlg.Next.Click()
But I get the following error message:

Here is the snippet of the UI of the installer: Sample installer UI
I can't understand what's going wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.
