Description
Very similar to the "java.debug.settings.console" setting described below, I'd love to be able to provide a default console setting to all debug configuration that don't have one defined. This would allow separating personal preferences (Debug Console vs. Terminal, possible to be defined in user settings) from work-space-specific debug settings (which module to load and start, defined by the work space).
console- The specified console to launch the program. If not specified, use the console specified by thejava.debug.settings.consoleuser setting.

Research direction
Start by locating the Python debugger's handling of debug configuration settings and the existing console-setting behavior described in the issue. The work is complete when a user-level python.debug.settings.console value supplies the console for configurations that do not define one, while an explicit configuration value remains unchanged.
