Running Python3 script via PowerShell action in Power Automate Desktop, with dependencies

I'm really hoping someone understands how to solve this, because it's so hard to see what's actually happening inside Power Automate Desktop.

I am able to run Python3 scripts in PowerShell using a virtual environment for dependency resolution, like this:

C:\path\to\script\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python C:\path\to\script\script.py

I am also able to run Python3 scripts through PAD PowerShell actions, including the one in question, using the same code; however, it seems to be unable to resolve dependencies, as it only outputs a few test lines, and doesn't make it past the first library function call.

What might be happening?

How can I actually activate the virtual environment, if that's the problem?

Is there a different way I should be managing the dependencies instead? I've tried adding the site-packages folder to the user environment var PATH with no luck.

Thanks
