Research direction

Begin by reproducing the import failure on Red Hat 8.5 with python3, both from the command line and when started by systemd. Check how the module was installed and which interpreter each launch path uses; done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting or validating the appropriate correction.

Description

I get a module not found error when trying to import systemd.daemon. I have tried various methods of installing the module. I am on Red Hat 8.5, trying this with python3. It gives me the error whether I try having systemd start it or just running the script from the command line.
