Maybe the general Python configuration does not provide all the Python modules you need. Then, you can take the following steps. The example supposes you are looking for a Python module called `pyxyz`.
1. Search for a JSC module containing the Python module: `module keyword pyxyz`. If you find one, for example called `XYZ/2024`, load the module using `module load XYZ/2024`
2. Make a Python virtual environment under `$PROJECT/$USER`: `python -m venv $PROJECT/$USER/pyvenv` and activate it (`source $PROJECT/$USER/pyvenv/bin/activate`) before running the pip install command `pip install pyxyz`. This way the Python module will not be saved in `$HOME`, where there is not much space. The Python virtual environment can be closed by the command `deactivate`.
