[Python] Any way to prevent pycache from creating pyc files while using VSCode debugger and...

I am currently working on a Python project using the latest version on VSCode on Ubuntu 24.04.

When I run my project without using the debugger

python3 -B Main.py


I don't get any .pyc files created, which is fine.

However, when launching the debugger using the following launch.json file

{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [

{
"name": "Run project in Debug Mode",
"type": "debugpy",
"request": "launch",
"program": "Main.py",
"args": ["-B"]
}
]
}


I get pycache .pyc files created accross the project packages.

Is there a way to get the -B argument to work in a launch.json file ?

Thanks
