Package installed and verified but ModuleNotFoundError when running app - M2

[maritaganta]

I have created a .venv with the following pip list:

Package                 Version
----------------------- ---------
click                   8.1.7
dlib                    19.24.5
face-recognition        1.3.0
face_recognition_models 0.3.0
numpy                   2.0.1
opencv-python           4.10.0.84
pillow                  10.4.0
pip                     24.0
setuptools              72.1.0

• Python version: Python 3.12.4
• Operating System: MacOS Sonoma 14.3 - M2 Chip

Description

I followed the following installation steps:

brew install cmake
brew install dlib
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install opencv-python
pip install face_recognition

I verified the installation with:

python
>>> import face_recognition

I didn't get any issues.

However, now that I am importing the library on my .py file, I get import face_recognition ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'face_recognition'

What I Did

I checked that I am in the correct environment and that I have no typos.

How is it possible to install and verify the package but then unable to find module?
