When I try to run any python code in debug mode using VScode, I got an error message saying:

_pydev_bundle._pydev_saved_modules.DebuggerInitializationError: It was not possible to initialize the debugger due to a module name conflict.

i.e.: the module "queue" could not be imported because it is shadowed by:
/home/<username>/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/queue/__init__.pyc
Please rename this file/folder so that the original module from the standard library can be imported.

Deleting the init.pyc and init.py resulting with an error message about missing queue import.
