Answer 1

Maybe there is more than one python environment on your machine, And the location where you installed the package is inconsistent with the python interpreter you are using now.

You can use CTRL + SHIFT + P to open the command palette and search Python: Select Interpreter (or click on the interpreter version displayed in the lower right corner).

Select the environment interpreter where you have the urllib3 package installed.

Answer 2

You need to make sure that VS Code uses the same Python Interpreter that you installed this package to.

You can see it here:

Looks like yours should point to

c:\user\###\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\bin\python

(or something like that, where your python executable file is located)
