I am trying to setup my Manjaro GNOME for Python development. The project is a Flask project.
The project requires Python 3.7.12. I have installed the correct version using pyenv.
When building the project (all the commands are specified in a makefile), the correct venv is created using the correct python version. However, whenever I try to install and run the project through VSCode, I simply get the error stating ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ctypes'
I have tried reinstalling pyenv using various methods on their GitHub page. When running pyenv version in terminal, I do get the correct version of Python.
If anyone has any idea on how I could solve this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
The full error when trying to run the project:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you!
