ImportError: cannot import name 'etree' in Visual Studio Debug console while running python file from C++

Question

Using Embedded python with c++, I was able to call python file from C++.

Python file contains: from lxml import etree The python file runs successfully in python3.6 IDLE.

But while running the C++ in Visual studio debugging, finding the below error in VS debug console ImportError: cannot import name 'etree'.

How to resolve this error. Env details:

1. VS 2019
2. Python 3.6 (x86)
3. lxml 4.6.2

Thanks in advance CPP code

    int data = 255;
    // Initialize the Python Interpreter
    Py_Initialize();
    // Build the name object
    pName = PyUnicode_FromString((char*)"Test_lxml");

        pModule = PyImport_Import(pName);

            Py_DECREF(pValue);

            // Clean up

    }
    std::cout << "Module end\n";
    std::cout << data;
}

**Visual Studio Debug Console**

Visual Studio Configuration must be in Release instead of Debug. Thanks for the support
