Can I use the bundled lldb with my own python3 and the lldb command?

Hi, vscode-lldb author & users

I have trouble in debugging my python script that loaded by ~/.lldbinit. I figured out when I run lldb (installed via apt-get on ubuntu 20.04), it use the system's python3, which lacks many common packages such as numpy, opencv, etc.

I think I can compile the lldb from scratch with my own python3 (installed via miniconda), but the compilation is too slow on my machine (i5-8500).

Just wondering if I can use the vscode bundled lldb shared libraries thus when I run lldb in a terminal (not the VSCode debugging GUI, but a new created, standalone terminal), I can use scritpt commands.

Currently, tried but failed, with the following outputs:
(The VSCode installed code-lldb is version 1.7.0)
