Script does not return available updates on Debian 12 Bookworm

[TAYALE]

Bookworm expects an VirtualEnv. Created it and changed the ExecStart in the service-file to:
/root/system_sensors/.venv/bin/python3 /root/system_sensors/src/system_sensors.py /root/system_sensors/src/settings.yaml

I do get a lot of sensors but not the 'Available updates' and cannot figure out why. Of course it is set to true in the settings.yaml.

I am getting the following when I run the script from console:

user@host: ~/system_sensors $ system_sensors_venv/bin/python3 src/system_sensors.py src/settings.yaml
Unable to import apt package. Available updates will not be shown.
Sending config message to host...
Connected to broker
subscribing : hass/status

The second line is the error. I am trying to learn how to import "apt" into the virtual environment. That might fix this issue.

I found this...
At this link: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/os.html#using-pip-with-virtual-environments it says to start the virtual environment using this command:

python -m venv --system-site-packages env.

I used:

python3 -m venv system_sensors_venv --system-site-packages

and this has cleared the error.

YMWV. :)

Thanks.
