PTVSD Visual Studio version mismatch

Question

I' trying to debug a remote python application in a Linux system from Visual Studio 2013 using ptvsd. I followed the tutorial in here

The problem is that I am getting this error even when both versions, the Linux one and the VS one are the latest one (3.1.0):

Here is the linux version:

[default@localhost ~]$ pip list | grep ptvsd
ptvsd (3.1.0)

Answer 1

The solution is installing in both systems the version equal or less than the one said in this table:

2017                    3.0.0

2015                    2.2.6

2013                    2.2.2

2012, 2010              2.1

So for 2013:

sudo pip install "ptvsd<=2.2.2"

Answer 2

I did it working with "ptvsd==3.0.0" installed in both local machine and on the remote machine.

Also make sure your web serve does not reload automatically. that will break the connection. (this cost me many hours)
