Added notes on #137 that is still a bug. Sorry for the lateness, as this is a bug that is easily missed/ignored since debugging works through the "Run and Debug" View ( and F5)

I am running into this issue still using VSCode 1.89.0 and Python Debugger v2024.4.0. When specifying a venv path in
launch.jsonusing thepythonkey, I get this error:sourish-0911 commentedon May 15, 2025
Is there any resolution to the error mentioned by Riccardo Maio (@Riccardo-Maio) ?
