Python package `drf-comments` not being recognized
i am developing a rest-based django project. i want to implement a commenting system in my project; but it has to be decoupled from the other apps. therefore, deepseek suggested to use drf-comments in my project. the whole thing seems appealing; as it does not require writing any model, view, serializer and url. deepseek just told me to add the urls coming from the drf-comments package and i did so. everything looks fine; but when i attempt to run the command python manage.py makemigrations or the migrate command, i get the error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'drf_comments'
and i got back to my chatbots (deepseek and blackbox) and they told me to go back, delete-recreate the venv to make sure everything works fine; but i know it is fine. does anybody know what's the problem with this python package (drf-comments)? maybe it is not supported anymore.
additional information:
python version:
Python 3.11.4
the pip list:

i tried checking the installation of the drf-comments package using pip show and pip list, i tried the activation of my venv, i double-checked the <main_app>.INSTALLED_APPS.
I expected maybe there was some typo in the installed_apps list, but there weren't any. everything lookes fine.
