Research direction
Start with yara/init.py, yara/rules.py, and yara/libyara_wrapper.py, then reproduce the failure after pip install yara-python on Python 3.11. Trace how the native library path is constructed and compare it with the reported libyara.dll location; done means the installed package imports successfully and loads the DLL.

FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\DLLs\libyara.dll' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.
when I looked for the file, it turned out to be in this directory for me：
