Visual Studio Code - How to add multiple paths to python path?

I am experimenting with Visual Studio Code and so far, it seems great (light, fast, etc). I am trying to get one of my Python apps running that uses a virtual environment, but also uses libraries that are not in the site-package of my virtual environment. I know that in settings.json, I can specify a python.pythonPath setting, which I have done and is pointing to a virtual environment. I also know that I can add additional paths to python.autoComplete.extraPaths, where thus far I am adding the external libraries. The problem is, when I am debugging, it's failing because it's not finding the libraries specified in python.autoComplete.extraPaths. Is there another setting that must be used for this?
This worked for me:- in your launch.json profile entry, specify a new entry called "env", and set PYTHONPATH yourself. "configurations": [ { "name": "Python", "type": "python", "stopOnEntry": false, "request": "launch", "pythonPath": "${config.python.pythonPath}", "program": "${file}", "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}", "debugOptions": [ "WaitOnAbnormalExit", "WaitOnNormalExit", "RedirectOutput" ], "env": { "PYTHONPATH": "/path/a:path/b" } } ]
