Python Firebase issue No module named firebase_admin

I have deployed a python code in Google App Engine.In my code,tried to import firebase_admin,but it shows following error,

import firebase_admin
ImportError: No module named firebase_admin

hello.py

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials
from firebase_admin import db

I tried simple python code using Terminal: hello.py

import firebase_admin
print firebase_admin

Output in terminal:

~/Desktop$ python hello.py
<module 'firebase_admin' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/firebase_admin/__init__.pyc'>

I was trying to connect cloud firestore through python-admin-sdk using Visual Studio Code which gave me same error

Working environment:

Ubuntu 20.04

Python 3.8.5

firebase-admin 5.0.0

Solution: Resolution by re-installing PyLance extension in Visual Studio Code.

For me it worked when I changed my interpreter to an earlier version of Python: I went from 3.11.7.1 to 3.9.6

For me the problem was that I installed using pip and not pip3.

After correctly installing firebase_admin I also included this on .zshrc:

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH" 
alias python=python3
alias pip=pip3

Bonus tip:

Check Python version on pyvenv.cfg file, make sure to update Python if necessary and set the latest version to default as described on the first line above. Make sure to replace @3.11 with your latest version.

After unsuccessfully trying all incarnations of pip to install firebase_admin, what worked for me was adding firebase_admin in the requirements.txt file then run pip install -r requirements.txt

For some reason beyond my understanding, firebase_admin appears to work when installed by referencing the requirements.txt file but not when running pip directly.
