No module named 'pyspark.streaming.kafka' even with older spark version

Question

In another similar question, they hint 'install older spark 2.4.5.'

EDIT: the solution from above link says 'install spark 2.4.5 and it does have kafkautils. But the problem is I can't download spark2.4.5 - not available even in the archive.

i followed the advice, installed older version of spark - spark2.4.6(the only old available) and also have python37, kafka-python,pyspark libs.

i have my spark_job.py file that needs to use kafka

from pyspark.streaming.kafka import KafkaUtils

when hitting 'python spark_job.py

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyspark.streaming.kafka'

the error still persists!

spark_job.py:

import shutil

from pyspark import SparkContext, SparkConf
from pyspark.streaming import StreamingContext
from pyspark.sql import Row, SparkSession
from pyspark.streaming.kafka import KafkaUtils # this is the problem

i just downgraded it using pip:

pip install --force-reinstall pyspark==2.4.6

I did not use any poetry. AFter reinstalling, the kafkaUtils pkg was recognized.
