Im running a Python virtual environment on VScode.  
On the line  
‘’’  
from datasets import load\_dataset  
‘’’  
I am getting the error message _ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘datasets’_.

I read all posts on this forum about this topic, but cannot solve the problem:

- the environment is using Python 3.11.4
- pip3 confirms that datasets 2.17.1 is installed

What am I doing wrong?
