Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

can you type
python --version

and check what the output is

The interpreter you have selected in VSCode has little to do with the system interpreter, which is what is invoked in Powershell there.

That said, given that you're invoking with python, it may be that Python 3.9 is aliased to python but 3.12 is not.

You can remove 3.9 if you don't need it, or you can try py -0 which should return Python 3.12 as your default interpreter (identifiable by an asterisk next to the version) and install packages via py -m pip install requests instead of python -m pip install requests.

If you wish to be explicit, py -3.12 -m pip install requests will allow you to install to a specific Windows Installer managed Python version.
