How to run standalone and allow for editing?

[PoweredByPeople]

I see you mention you can use reloadium standalone, however I'm still a python beginner and can't figure out how to do it.

When I run reloadium run my_python_program.py it just executes instantly and returns the results of my program. Is there a trick to get it to run alongside the vscode debugger (or potentially I need to use python built in debugger to pause code execution?) or would it be possible to share a simple example using a very basic python script in the docs?

Hi @PoweredByPeople

Your process has to be long lived or paused by debugger to use hot reloading.

Use below example to play around in run mode.

from time import sleep

a = 1  # Change this

def fun():
    print(f"a = {a}")
    sleep(1)


while True:
    fun()

VsCode is not yet fully supported at the moment.
