Summary

We could start with a simple VSCode launch.json.

Proposed benefits

Developers get a debugging configuration that works out of the box in one or more IDEs.

Proposal details

A templated .vscode/launch.json with the following contents

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "<config name>",
      "type": "python",
      "request": "launch",
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
      "program": "<package>",
      "args": [
        "--config",
        ".secrets/config.json"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

This might also require adding either of the following:

• # tap_mysource/tap.py
  class TapMySource(Tap):
      ...
  
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      TapMySource.cli()

• # tap_mysource/__main__.py
  
  from tap_mysource.tap import TapMySource
  
  TapMySource.cli()

Best reasons not to build

Any debug configuration could be too specific, but users can always tweak it.
