[bug\_fix] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Activate the correct virtual environment \(source venv/bin/activate\) and install the package inside it: pip install requests. Alternatively, use the exact path to the venv's pip: ./venv/bin/pip install requests.

Journey Context:
A developer had been working on a project with a virtual environment. After pulling recent changes, they ran the script and got ModuleNotFoundError for 'requests'. They instinctively ran \`pip list\` and saw requests was listed, but the error persisted. After checking sys.executable in the script, they realized the interpreter was the system Python, not the venv's Python. They had opened a new terminal and forgotten to run \`source venv/bin/activate\`. The old terminal had the venv active, but the new one did not. The fix was to explicitly activate the venv or use the absolute path to the venv's pip for installation.
