[Python] Python playwright won't let me open user profile other than default profile

I need to open custom profile using playwright launch_persistent_context method. Here is my code

import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
import os

async def main():
# Initialize Playwright and launch a browser
async with async_playwright() as playwright:
print("Launching browser")
browser = await playwright.chromium.launch_persistent_context(user_data_dir=fr'C:\Users\{os.getlogin()}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1', headless=False)
# Create a new page in the browser
print("Creating new page")
page = await browser.new_page()
print("Going to URL")
# Navigate to a website
await page.goto("https://www.example.com")

input("Press Enter to continue...")

# Close the browser
await browser.close()

# Run the main function in an asyncio event loop
asyncio.run(main())


The launch_persistent_context method takes an argument called user_data_dir. When I input "User Data" folder to that folder, it launches the browser with default profile. But if I specify some other profile like this user_data_dir="...\User Data\Profile 1", it launches the browser but doesn't load any profile.

Here is what I tried to get the solution

1. 
   I read about it on playwright documentation website here, but there isn't much information on how we can open custom profile other than default one.
   
   
2. 
   As mentioned above, I tried to give path to custom profile instead of path to user data directory. But it doesn't load the profile in that case
