You can do it in launch.json.

Exactly, what a god-for-saken horrid solution! I'm all for JSON configuration for really low-down dirty stuff, but for something as simple as this? Eugh, no! Refactoring in Pycharm is fine as far as I can tell, never had any issues with it.

VSCode/ium is fine for single-file python or other such simple stuff, but not for big projects and was an instant deal breaker for me. I hated pycharm when I first started using it, but as I get more used to it, it's way more usable and has some nice little features, so I'll stick with it for now.

I get VSCode from a product marketing point of view and understand why it was created, but I wish it wasn't. One size fits all never works out in the long-term

I totally agree. But it's difficult to see why that would be a deal breaker tbh. It still works... and Python is too shit to use for the kinds of stuff you just have a single "run" for anyway (e.g. desktop apps or games).
