Installing appmap breaks Microsoft's VS Code python extension support for starting a REPL

[apotterri]

If you install appmap into the virtual environment selected for a project, trying to start a REPL (with the command python.execInREPL, which is bound to shift+enter by default) will fail.

Turning on logging for vscode-python shows the stack trace:

2024-06-14 09:22:29.976 [error] Error: Error processing line 1 of /opt/anaconda3/envs/python-test/lib/python3.9/site-packages/appmap.pth:

I have the same problem with the appmap vscode extension. shift+enter refused to start REPL with poetry, and removing the following appmap line from pyproject.toml solved the problem:

appmap = {version = "^2.0.8", allow-prereleases = true}

Then I ran poetry update, and it removed appmap (2.0.8), importlib-resources (5.13.0), and inflection (0.5.1), which solved the issue.

@Incantatoric Thanks for reporting this problem, sorry it got in your way.

Once this is fixed, you'll be able to run the REPL in an enviroment with appmap installed. I hope you'll consider giving it another try.

@Incantatoric v2.0.9 has been released now with a fix for this problem.
