Having never used Virtual Environments before, and being forced (more or less) into using one because I'm on a RPi 5 and Bookworm, I've tried to set up one so I can run a previously working Python script from a RPi 4 and Bullseye. The code needs the paho-mqtt and bluepy packages, which I have installed into the venv (main). I moved the program into the venv directory, activated the venv, and then tried to run the program. You can see that in the below copy/paste.
But the code fails and says the bluepy package isn't installed. So I ran a pip list to see what packages are installed, and it looks to me like both needed package are in the venv. See below...
So, I am obviously missing something. Can someone point out my, probably obvious, error?
Code:
