VScode + pipenv + pyenv in WSL : debugger not working with Python only for non-system Python version

Question

I am experiencing a problem with VScode debugger after I try to create a Pipenv environment with a specific python version that is not my original system version (3.7.3)

pipenv install --python <version>

I can tell anyway that the environment is activated correctly and I can run (in and out of Vscode) any Python script and the Python version is consistent (tested with pipenv run python --version )

This is the error I encounter each time I have a pipenv environment with anything different than my original system 3.7.3 python:

But if I create a pipenv environment with my original python version 3.7.3 then all works fine with the debugger:

I tried many things but I am not sure if this is an issue with WSL or pipenv or pyenv with VScode, I suspect a bug but I am not too sure

I have pipenv : 2022.6.7 pyenv : 2.3.1-20-g572a8bcf Vscode : 1.68.1 Python versions 3.7.3 -> system 3.8.13 3.9.13 3.10.4 -> Global

    ]
}

Take a closer look at the upper left corner of your first picture.

Vscode prompted you to create a "launch.json". I don't think you created a "launch.json" in the workspace during your first debugging process. Please follow the prompts.
