Answer 2

You need to put the remote ip address in both ptvsd.enable_attach("my_secret", address = ('remote_ip_address', 3000)) and in launch.json:

{
  "name": "Attach (Remote Debug)",
  "type": "python",
  "request": "attach",
  "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
  "remoteRoot": "/home/user1/scripts/",
  "port": 3000,
  "secret": "my_secret",
  "host": "remote_ip_address" 
}

You also need to change the remoteRoot value to the path of the directory where the script is located in the remote machine (e.g. /home/user1/scripts/).

Finally, open an ssh connection: ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000, run your script in the remote machine and attach the debugger in the local machine.
