Research direction
No documentation file is named; first inspect the repository's documentation and setup instructions to find where cloning and version checkout are described. Update that guidance to cover recursive submodules when checking out v3.10.0, and verify that the documented commands keep the yara submodule aligned with the tag.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
git clone --recursive https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara-python
cd yara-python
git checkout v3.10.0
This would cause yara-python to be at v3.10.0 but its submodule yara would stay at master (which currently happens to be v3.11.0). User should instead use: git checkout --recurse-submodules v3.10.0.
Documentation may want to include this information to prevent any confusion.
