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 Pythong Debugger v2024.4.0. When specifying a venv path in launch.json using the python key, I get this error:

Couldn't spawn debuggee: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Users/username/dev/path/to/venv/.venv'

Command line:['/Users/username/dev/path/to/venv/.venv', '/Users/username/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.debugpy-2024.4.0-darwin-arm64/bundled/libs/debugpy/adapter/../../debugpy/launcher/../../debugpy', '--connect', '127.0.0.1:65413', '--configure-qt', 'none', '--adapter-access-token', '05382419ede9abcc4130840e65382fc18a1a4ada562a15a13131d3c56c4607be', '/Users/username/dev/path/to/venv/manage.py', 'runserver']
