Your distribution appears to have an issue with at least its provided software package `python3-numpy`.

In a [thread regarding the HackerGadgets AIO board](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/hackergadgets-aio-board-package/17875/), the user @jwhsu [asked for help](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/hackergadgets-aio-board-package/17875/363) regarding a typical Python “module not found” error despite installing the given module from apt(1), as `python3-numpy`. In their [elaboration](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/hackergadgets-aio-board-package/17875/374), they attached the [output of `$ dpkg -L python3-numpy`](https://app.box.com/s/3wgtz75eqpfuexrfghk4149bjxfzvq5l), which showed that numpy had been installed at `/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages`, a location in which the system’s Python 3 installation hadn’t been configured to search when looking for modules.

For demonstration, the following shell one-liner will print a frowney if `numpy` is not importable from Python, otherwise a smiley.

```sh
printf 'import sys \ntry: import numpy \nexcept: print(" :-(",sys.path) \nelse: print(" :)")' | xargs -0 python3 -c

```

Reproduction of the issue entails checking the output of this one-liner before and after running `# apt install python3-numpy`. My idea to create a `/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/00-custom-dist-packages` to add the installation path to the searched directories seems to not have worked, but you can find our full troubleshooting in that thread and hopefully enough resources to fix it.
