No module named 'social_django' but 'social-auth-app-django' is installed

Summary of Issue

I am creating a Django project and attempting to setup Auth0 integrations. Per Auth0's documentation, I installed the social-auth-app-django library which then went and also installed social-auth-core. So please note that both these libraries are installed.

Here is my py -m pip list output proving such:

Package                Version

asgiref                3.4.1

social-auth-app-django 5.0.0
social-auth-core       4.1.0
sqlparse               0.4.2
urllib3                1.26.7

As you can see, I'm running Django 3.2.9. I am also using Python 3.10.

After following all of Auth0's steps, I went to run py manage.py migrate and receive the following ending error message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'social_django'

What I have tried

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the social-auth-app-django and social-auth-core libraries multiple times. I have also tried installing the libraries individually instead of just installing social-auth-app-django. I have also tried installing social-auth-app[django] (using brackets). Nothing has worked.

Every post I can find online is telling the OP to install the social-auth-app-django library and that should fix their problem. But as demonstrated, I believe I've already done that. So unless there's a different way I need to install the library, I need a different solution.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Huge credit to @furas in the comments helping point me in the right direction.

The Solution: Reinitialize the virtual environment using python 3.10 instead of python 3.8 and reinstall necessary packages.

Explanation: The problem was that I had inadvertently created my venv using python 3.8. So even though I'd run py -m pip list successfully while inside of the 3.8 venv, all of my packages were still installed using python 3.8. So when I'd try and migrate using python 3.10, the packages weren't viewable.
