Hi! What are you specifically seeing that is telling you it cannot handle that? Can you include all your logs to help?

🐍 How to Get Logs from the Python Environments Output Channel

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac).
2. Run the command: Developer: Set Log Level…
   • Select Trace.
3. Reproduce the issue.
4. Open the Output panel (you can do this via the Command Palette: View: Toggle Output).
5. In the Output panel dropdown, select Python Environments.
6. Copy the relevant logs and paste them here along with any error messages.

this seems similar to #25886. Going to close in favor of that issue but if you think they are different please reply and I will re-open. Thanks!
