Context

I am making a project using Python and have a virtual environment installed called venv. Here is the information for the virtual environment:

Version and Modules Installed:

I am on a linux machine that has a package installed called whois via apt.

I am using VSC and its built-in terminal.

Here is the code that I run using the terminal with the virtual environment activated.

The Problem

The following error occurs when the code tries to import the module.

┌──(venv)─(narwhal㉿WhoAreWe)-[~/Documents/Projects/PassCon]└─$ python ./WHOIS/custom_whois.py Traceback (most recent call last):  File "/home/narwhal/Documents/Projects/PassCon/./WHOIS/custom_whois.py", line 1, in <module>    import whoisModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'whois'

What Have I Tried

I have tried to not use the virtual environment and run it normally and it does work but from what I understand it is using the whois package installed via apt (I found out that it doesn't work as I am using whois() instead of query() which is used by the APT-installed whois).

I also have uninstalled and re-installed python-whois multiple times.

FYI

I do not wish to uninstall the apt version of whois as I need it for my day to day. I doubt that its the problem, but I hope its not the only solution to fix my problem.

I also want to use python-whois so it is easily installed for users.
