Unless you've specifically created a venv, you're not in one. I have a 
script that scrapes the current conditions and forecasts from the NOAA 
site. It uses two imports.

import json
import requests

json is built in, requests is in the dist-packages. 

$ python3 -m site
sys.path = [
    '/',
    '/usr/lib/python313.zip',
    '/usr/lib/python3.13',
    '/usr/lib/python3.13/lib-dynload',
    '/usr/local/lib/python3.13/dist-packages',
    '/usr/local/lib/python3.13/dist-packages/opensky_api-1.3.0-
py3.13.egg',
    '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages',
]

in this case  'ls /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages' will show you what is 
available. Distros install many as a default. Others can be added like

'sudo apt install python3-numpy'
