The 'Python Debugger' extension is not available in VSCodium for Linux ARM 64 #318
Description
I'm running VSCodium on Linux on Apple Silicon, thus the aarch64 CPU architecture. It is complaining about "type": "python" in my launch.json and that I have to replace it with debugpy before it's being deprecated. That type seems to be provided by this extension but I can't actually install it due to the error in the title.
This extension is pure Typescript, is there any reason at all it wouldn't work on Linux ARM machines?

Thanks for your bug report, I am going to investigate what is happening.

Drive-by comment (I have a similar, but different problem): It looks like the Python Debugger extension is actually platform-specific since #89 (it includes Python wheels?).
That alone doesn't explain your problem, I guess, since aarch64 seems to be included in
vscode-python-debugger/build/azure-pipeline.stable.yml

Hey there 👋,
I believe this to be a problem on our end, since I assume you're using https://open-vsx.org as the extension marketplace. We are in the process of adding the linux arm platform in EclipseFdn/publish-extensions#756 for the extension, but I need to figure out how to tweak the build pipeline to install the correct platform-specific dependencies :).
Feel free to track that PR or EclipseFdn/publish-extensions#755 for updates.

Oh, I didn't realize it was basically a packaging problem. I'm using whatever comes with VSCodium, and I believe indeed that is https://open-vsx.org. Thanks for finding this issue, I'll close this and wait for the update to appear!
Philipp Wagner (@imphil) you're listing the arm64 package for macOS, but I'm actually running on Linux.
