Installed Python 3.10.2 and now my Pip installs are not being found

Everything in my code was working perfectly fine up until I decided I wanted to utilize match-case in Python. Find out its only a thing in 3.10+, so I quickly install it and change it to be the interpreter in command palette.
Then I try to run my code same as before, and I'm not sure what changed but my Keyboard import is giving me 'Import "keyboard" could not be resolved'. Issues. The same issue was actually present as well with the 'from nis import match' module.
I installed keyboard initially using 'pip install keyboard' when running my 3.9 version, and legit everything was fine. This all started after I installed 3.10 (which I did from Pythons website yes); and I did add to PATH, but I dont think that would have any impact on my imports in VScode.
Confused as heck right now, please look at my screenshots for clearest explanation of what I'm facing.

Module Not Found Error

pip3.10 show keyboard

Any and all help appreciated, I'm extremely confused and think I've tried it all now

New Python versions use new site-packages folders. You need to reinstall everything. This is why poetry, pipenv, or requirements.txt are used

I think the linter-like extension/whatever Pylance is is the problem. Why? Because as we've tried, pip install keyboard and pip install --upgrade keyboard just confirm that the requirement is satisfied and the latest version of keyboard is already installed.
What I did was change Pylance's settings. Yes, it's not an actual error (with the code), but Pylance's problem. It just didn't see enough files in the keyboard package to satisfy its hunger, or Microsoft was just too lazy to pass more checks and update it accordingly, because however it happened, when I tried changing the setting to display an "error" at "missing imports" for fun, it didn't show errors or the default "warning" but "none", because I had run the file before I changed it back to display an error (maybe Pylance observed that when the file was run, there was no ModuleNotFoundError, and so stopped showing the warning).
I better shut now, because the setting I changed/overrode by adding it in settings.json is:
"python.analysis.diagnosticSeverityOverrides": {"reportMissingImports":"none"}
which is in:
{
...,
...,
...,
"python.analysis.diagnosticSeverityOverrides": {"reportMissingImports":"none"}
}
Here is a list of keys like "reportMissingImports" whose values you can change. These are the allowed values for the keys in python.analysis.diagnosticSeverityOverrides:
error (red squiggle)
warning (yellow squiggle)
information (blue squiggle)
none (disables the rule)
You would want to change their values only if you want to change their behaviour.
You can find settings.json by its path or by going to the settings GUI and clicking on any "Edit in settings.json" link-like button. You can also make settings.json open instead of the GUI by default.
Now, you won't see any more warnings when you import modules and can code without being anxious about the stupid warning.

Wow, So as it turns out, a solution I tried previously, to no avail is now working to solve this bizarre issue.
Simply put, I once again went to Command Palette (Ctrl+Shft+P), and looked through my interpreters I had to see what could be wrong.
Decided to click on the 'recommended' option I assumed I had been running this whole time. Turns out I was using this 'third' option as shown in the screenshot (the one not highlighted ofcourse); and it's the reason my module installs were being found on my machine, but not by the interpreter; as such giving me errors and not running the module for the program.
Simple error, but thanks to those who did help.

How do I get Pillow ImageOps.contain to work when inside VS Code?

I have VS Code on a Mac.
Pillow is installed and version verified as 8.3.2 via Pip list in the terminal window of VS Code. I have confirmed via the pillow docs that the ImageOps.contain() is part of 8.3.
My problem is that when I use the terminal, type python and run the following, it works perfectly:
from PIL import Image, ImageOps
im = Image.open("images/Barcelona.jpg")
print(im.format, im.size, im.mode)
im = ImageOps.contain(im, (800, 800), method=3)
im.show()
Preview pops right up and shows me the picture.
When I put the exact code into VS Code or build a .py file with Nano, I get an error message which is shown in this image:
I've verified the right version of Python, Pillow, and such. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

This turns out to be a problem with what I can only call nested environments and/or a conflict between Anaconda and Workspaces. I'm not really sure but when I used the _version import to figure out a) what VS Code thought and then b) figured out the environment Pip was reporting on, I deactivated up one level, upgraded the (base) to the 8.3 version and all ran fine. The knowledge on importing the version variable to see precisely what the code is importing came from the question asked below and was invaluable.

Python 3 Pyperclip Installed but Module not Found

I'm trying to copy some text to clipboad in my python program, so I've installed pyperclip via pip command via Windows command line interface, it says everything is successfully installed, not a problem. However, when I import the thing into my project, I get
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import pyperclip
import binascii
#my code...
...
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyperclip'
So I was like *** that, maybe it's broken, I found a little library that does exactly the same, called "clipboard". Exactly the same installation procedure - from the command line. Same successful installation. Same ModuleNotFoundError. So clearly something wrong on my side, but I have no idea what it is, no idea where to look and what to do. I just want to be able to copy some text to clipboard. Multiplatform. That's it.
It's Python 3.8, Windows 10
pyperclip-1.8.0
pip-20.2.2
If I need to show you some logs or tell you something about my installation, please tell me what exactly to do and where to find information you may need. I'm good with instructions, but I don't have much (any) experience rummaging through logs and python installation folders.
Similar posts have slightly different problems, I didn't find any clear solution or hints that I could understand. No reply seemed like a solution to me.
Anyway, I would really appreciate any help from the community. Being unable to simply copy something to clipboard is killing me, especially since it's the only thing I can't implement. And it's just one function for one button to copy one short piece of text. It's like being stuck at 99% loading, when everything is done, and you just can't write the final line of code, haha.

Pycharm uses a virtualenv for pycharm projects. Navigate through:
Pycharm >> File >> Settings(or press Ctrl+Alt+S on win) >> Project:Name >> Project Interpreter >> Click on the plus(+) symbol above the scroll bar and type in pyperclip and press install package.
And this will install pyperclip for your Pycharm IDE. Since pycharm uses a virtual env for its projects you can change it in the project interpreter section as well, and then the pyperclip you installed from the cmd using pip, will be available to be used on that global version of python(now used by your Pycharm too).
If you still have any errors or doubts, do let me know :D
Cheers

Is there a way to capture an image of the screen in python with ctypes?

I want to have python save an image file of the whole screen as a variable with ctypes so that I could access the screen in a program and do something with it (like put it on a pygame window). I can't use any other libraries unless they are included with python (no installing or pip). Does anyone know how to do this?
Edit: I'm using windows 10.

PIL.ImageGrab is from PILLOW (a python image library fork which you can install with pip). You can give a bounding box or capture the entire screen.
Update: OP now mentions he can't use external libraries.
Then you could virtually hit printscreen and read the clipboard. The code of PILLOW is open-source feel free to use it.
Remember that you can always call a command from within python:
>>> import os
>>> os.system("pip install pillow")
Or download the zip of the library and import it in your code.

Pygame Sprite Glitch

Hi can anyone help. I am getting glitching on pygame sprite. The sprites are 50x50 pixels 72 res created in Photoshop. I am using:
tile.image = pygame.image.load(tile.name) to load adding them to a pygroup tileGroup.add(tile) then just doing a regular tileGroup.draw(screen)
I have tried the code on a Windows PC and it works fine. I can only assume it is a MAC thing. Can anyone shed any light?

I had the same problem and I fixed it by downgrading from SDL v1.2.15 to 1.2.10. SDL Library has this nasty bug exclusively on El Capitan and on versions higher than 1.2.10.
To downgrade via Homebrew, you should:
Go to "/usr/local/Library/Formula", find "sdl_image.rb" and rename it to something in case to backup it.
In Terminal, use "brew create https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL_image-1.2.10.tar.gz". It should create new "sdl_image.rb" in the same location.
Open the new "sdl_image.rb" and the old one; Copy the lines that starts with "depends_on" and whole "install" function from the old image file and then replace "install" function in the new file with these lines.
In Terminal, use "brew install sdl_image".

This also sometimes happens with the Tkinter module, and mostly on mac (when you draw things on the screen it lgitches a lot.)
I believe it is a mac problem, so you could try the following:
You could use a different image,
you could .convert() the image
you could .convert_alpha() the image
