PyCharm Debugger - ImportError: cannot import name getargspec

When I run the PyCharm debugger to debug python code I get the below error message. The tests themselves run fine from PyCharm and outside of PyCharm. I use a virtualenv and have gotten this to work many times before, but this is with a newer setup with a differnet version of PyCharm, Ubuntu, and Python

Version information:

Python 2.7.17 PyCharm 2019.3.1 (Community Edition) Build #PC-193.5662.61, built on December 18, 2019 Runtime version: 11.0.5+10-b520.17 amd64 VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o Linux 5.3.0-24-generic GC: ParNew, ConcurrentMarkSweep Memory: 725M Cores: 8 Registry: Non-Bundled Plugins:

Okay, I was able to get around this...

I had to configure the working directory path in the PyCharm run/debug configuration. Once I did this, the getargspect error did not occur when using the debugger. Example run/debug configuration below.

enter image description here

Also, we have a pytest.ini file that adds options to run code coverage. This causes a conflict with PyCharm's debugger and results in the debugger not "breaking" on breakpoints as it should. So I have to remove this line from our pytest.ini file to have the debugger break on breakpoints.

addopts = --cov=mcp_general --cov-append --cov-report= --cov-config=.coveragerc
          --doctest-modules -vv --junit-xml .coverage-dir/junit-results.xml
