Virtual Environment Making Astroquery Gaia Search Fail

Question

I am using astroquery to search through the Gaia catalog. However, I am using a MacOS local venv which is causing it to fail. I tested my code without the venv activated and it works as intended. I need to use this virtual environment sadly.

Why does my astroquery code break when using a venv?

Code:

def gaia_table(ra, dec, radius): 
  #Makes the SQL code to run it into the GAIA search
  query = "SELECT TOP 2000 \
  gaia_source.ra,gaia_source.dec,gaia_source.ra_error,gaia_source.phot_g_mean_flux_error,gaia_source.phot_bp_mean_flux_error,gaia_source.phot_rp_mean_flux_error,gaia_source.ref_epoch,gaia_source.dec_error,gaia_source.parallax,gaia_source.parallax_error,gaia_source.radial_velocity,gaia_source.radial_velocity_error,gaia_source.pmra,gaia_source.pmra_error,gaia_source.pmdec,gaia_source.pmdec_error,gaia_source.phot_g_mean_mag,gaia_source.phot_bp_mean_mag,gaia_source.phot_rp_mean_mag,gaia_source.phot_g_mean_flux,gaia_source.phot_bp_mean_flux,gaia_source.phot_rp_mean_flux \
  FROM gaiadr3.gaia_source \
  WHERE \
  CONTAINS( \
  POINT('ICRS',gaiadr3.gaia_source.ra,gaiadr3.gaia_source.dec), \
  CIRCLE('ICRS', " + str(ra) + "," + str(dec) + "," + str(((radius/2) * 0.000277778) - 0.000277778)+ ")" \
  ")=1"

  #Run this SQL query on the online GAIA database
  job = Gaia.launch_job_async(query)
  results = job.get_results()
  return results

Error:
