running pip install python-dotenv and pip3 install python-dotenv should do the trick

So, I just ran into the same issue. python-dotenv is referenced in the requirements.txt file and installed that way, it is also listed when using the pip list command.

So, I've figured out this issue (for my case): python was aliased to /usr/bin/python3, but it needed to be aliased to /opt/homebrew/bin/python3. For some reason, the version difference between the two matters.

I figured it out too, turns out I had multiple python installations so i fixed it by running the program in virtual environment

Closing as OP indicates he's fixed the issue

[Mr0sari0]

I am having the same issue. How was it fixed and how do I do it? Thank you for your help.

I added this to my .zprofile. (This is using HomeBrew on MacOS. Depending on your system or how you installed python3, you may need a different approach.)

alias python=/opt/homebrew/bin/python3
alias pip=/opt/homebrew/bin/pip3
