Project mention: I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own (it wasn't easy) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-21

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap).

Project mention: struggling to setup python with nvim dap - module not found on import - need to setup dap root? | /r/neovim | 2023-07-06

I think nvim-dap doesn't (always?) use neovim current working directory as root, which can cause issues like yours. I'd recommend using https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap-python along with a local .nvim.lua (:h 'exrc') with the following config:
