VSCode python debug: "No module named xx" when using module attribute

Question

My Python project folder structure is as follow:

.python_practice
|--lib
    |--lib.py
    |--__init__.py
|--practice1
    |--my_module.py
    |--__init__.py
|--__init__.py

---

My launch configuration is

{
    "name": "Python: Module",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "launch",
    "module": "practice1.my_module",
    "console": "integratedTerminal"
 },

---

In my_module.py

from lib.lib import util_func

When I try to debug using VScode I get an error: "No module named practice1.my_module"

But when I run it with the following command it works fine

python -m practice1.my_module

How could I debug my code so that the relative import work?

Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

This is a known bug involving debugging sub-modules.
