Hi

I’m new to this community. I am having some weird experience and finding it difficult to debug:

When i import glfw via python, on my default terminal everything works fine. However when i import it via the vscode terminal, i get the following error. I’m sure i’m calling the same python binary etc, which is why it’s unclear to me why i get this error :

```auto
import glfw

Warning: 'c' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/mihir/micromamba/lib/python3.10/site-packages/glfw/ __init__.py", line 43, in <module>
    raise ImportError("Failed to load GLFW3 shared library.")
ImportError: Failed to load GLFW3 shared library.

```

Importing other packages seems to be working fine from the vscode terminal, i just get this error while importing glfw. Any help to debug this would be very helpful thanks!
