No-Config Attach to Python Process #25536
Description
If you open up VS Code today and type in the word "attach" in the command palette, you get Debug: Attach to Node Process.
This is really convenient. The extension for Python for VS Code supports this as well (see #1078), but it seems like that's only the case if a user explicitly configures a launch.json task to do so.
I figured it would be nice if the option was just always available, and it wouldn't hurt to open up an issue to suggest it.

When I first read in the docs about no config debugging I got excited about the possible uses in my organization... but alas it was not an option with python. I would love for it to be one!
