Well, then you should write new tests that don't rely on pipes.
There's no reason it can't be done, and there are already lots of
examples of tests using TCP sockets in our test suite. It will also be
a nice improvement to the current test suite for Unix platforms.

I'm not sure why you're using Visual Studio to debug Python code?
It sounds like you want something higher-level, e.g. Python print()
calls or pdb.
