Even with a virtual environment, ensure the module is installed *within* the active virtual environment. Activate the environment and then run `pip install `. Sometimes, the environment isn't correctly activated, leading to the module being installed globally instead of within the isolated environment. Verify the correct environment is active by checking your terminal prompt.
