Configuration Files

launch.json

{
    "name": "Python: Current File",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "launch",
    "pythonPath": "/Users/chris/Code/np/bin/python",
    "program": "${file}"
}

settings.json

{
    "python.pythonPath":"/Users/chris/Code/np/bin/python",
    "python.autoComplete.addBrackets": true
}

Notes

When I run the same code using the system installation the debugger works fine.

The issue also only persists when the type is set to python and not when it is set to pythonExperimental.
