launch.json - cannot use internalConsole when debugging with debugpy

[lordgreg]

Type: Bug

Steps to reproduce:

launch.json
this doesnt work

        {
            "name": "run all",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "main.py",
            "console": "internalConsole",
            "args": "run"
        },

this does

        {
            "name": "run all",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "main.py",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "args": "run"
        },

unsure if this is a Problem with debugging tool or something else but, internalConsole cannot be used.
