how to debug exec('code_string')?

I need to refactor a legacy application (Python3.7).
It contains a dynamic code import mechanism which gets strings to be executed.

Is there a way to debug into such a string? i.e. can I set a breakpoint?

# get a string containing python code and execute it:

def other_function_to_call(name):
    print(f'other_function_to_call: {name}')  # Press Strg+F8 to toggle the breakpoint.
def more_to_execute():
    print(f'more_to_execute() ..')  # Press Strg+F8 to toggle the breakpoint.

# can I set a breakpoint in this code?
code_string = '''
other_function_to_call('hello from local string')
pass
more_to_execute()
pass
'''

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(f'text to execute:\n>>>{code_string}<<<')
    exec (code_string)
