Not able to activate debug in VS-code for Django project (Django in virtual environment)

I have an issue running the Debug environment for Django application in VS-code:

my python is not in the virtual environment, while my django is.

Therefore, the solution I see everywhere with adding to the launch.json settings the line "pythonPath": "${workspaceRoot}/.venv/bin/python2.7", does not fit, and I end up having the following error:

Exception has occurred: ImportError
Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? 
Did you forget to activate a virtual environment?

When working on the application, I launch the setting environement using the following command:

.\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1

Can anyone help me out to declare my virtual environment the proper way in the launch.json file?

Based on the suggestion of https://stackoverflow.com/users/13877794/omid, I was able to find the solution:

I opened command palette, chose Python: select Interpreter, and then after selecting the workspace I was interested in, I typed in .\venv\Scripts\python.exe which works fine for me.

if you've created a virtual env lets say with python -m venv my_env, you should "select Interpreter" and define a path like this:

./my_env/bin/python

make sure you choose correct version (python2/3) and usually there's no need to make launch.json manually.
