I am trying to run my django application based on python version 3.11.5 on centOS 7 with openssl version 3.0.11. My application is not able to find math module which comes in-built with python installation. But I am able to import math module in the python script. I am getting the below error, when I try to run my application on server:

Math module is present in the python installation path(/var/www/html/Python-3.11.6/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.11/math.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so) Solutions I tried:
- Reinstalled python
- added math module path to PYTHONPATH (/var/www/html/Python-3.11.6/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.11)
I read a discussion in centos community stating that CentOS 7 supports up to Python 3.6. The latest version available in the CentOS 7 repos is Python 3.6.8. And Python 3.11 development tools are not available in yum. CentOS 7 is officially supported until June 2024.You can build a later python from source but that's not a practical requirement for users.
So now I am doubting that this might be the reason for my failure. I believe that my python environment, environment variables, wsgi script and configuration files are properly set because I did multiple reinstallations with proper analysis.
This is my first time working on centos environment and so please let me know whether I am doing it wrong somewhere or is it compatability issue with centos 7.
