Run and debug not running after update Python and Pylance extensions

See original GitHub issue

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Today the Pylance and Python extensions have been updated to versions 2022.7.20 and 2022.10.0 respectively, and my setup for running and debugging my code has stopped working.

If I go back to the previous versions 2022.06.30 and 2022.8.1 everything works correctly again.

I have tried different combinations and using Jedi instead of Pylance, and it seems that the error is in version 2022.10.0 of the Python extension.

Steps to reproduce:

VSCode Latest version
Install versions 2022.7.20 and 2022.10.0 of Pylance and Python respectively
Run launch.json configuration

Diagnostic data

Python version: 3.6
Type of virtual environment used: devcontainer
Value of the python.languageServer setting: Pylance

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/18453 Similar issue happened 6 months ago. I reverted to 2022.8.1 and it works for me.

Python 3.6 is not supported for debugging, since Python 3.6 has been out of service for about 6 months. Please pin the extension to version 2022.8.* is you need to work with python 3.6
