$ pip3 install simplejson
Requirement already satisfied: simplejson in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages (3.17.2)
    
$ python3 -V
Python 3.9.6

Since simplejson is already installed why can't the 3.9.6 version of Python use it?

how do you know python 3.9.6 can't use simplejson? – njzk2 Jul 09 '21 at 22:03
Because I keep getting a "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'simplejson'" – Maxximiliann Jul 09 '21 at 22:10

Your `pip3` is for Python 3.8. Look at where it installed simplejson: "simplejson in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages". You have to make sure to install the package in the same Python you use to run your app. – Gino Mempin Jul 09 '21 at 22:48
