Required modules for --title missing, despite "Requirement already satisfied"

[Ravannos]

Option for --title is disabled despite installing the requirements in requirements.txt
Best I can figure is that the version number stated in the txt is older than the ones I have installed. However, I am unsure if the updated versions break the code.
Downloads works just fine, just not with --title option
Advice very much appreciated

execute python3 -m pip install bs4 django and try the script again please

This has worked. Thanks for the assistance. The --title option now works as intended.
If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask why adding -m fixed it. A cursory google search says it's a module option of a sorts. But other than that, I do not know why -m worked while one without it doesn't.
Once again, thanks for the help.

it shouldn't make a difference as long as you have only one python version installed. it's very common to have multiple versions installed though. pip might point to the 3.9 version while python3 points to the 3.10 version.

pip is a module of python, not a separate program. pip is basically just an alias

in your case you probably installed the packages for python3.12 but python3 points to a different version, so the packages are not installed for the version you use to run the script

personally I'd recommend to always use python3 -m pip and never use pip directly because of that
