[Python] ImportError: pycurl: libcurl link-time version (7.79.1) is older than compile-time...

I know this question has been asked before, but none of the solutions seem to be working for me. I am running this on Mac OS Monterey (12.6.1). Installed Python 3.7.12 (using pyenv) and using Poetry as a dependency manager.

I did the following steps after activating & deactivating the virtual environment using poetry (source $(poetry env info --path)/bin/activate)

1. Removed existing pycurl using brew
2. Installed openssl (brew install openssl)
3. Verified ssl installation directory

brew --prefix openssl
/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3

$ ls -la /usr/local/opt/openssl@3
lrwxr-xr-x 1 xxxxxx admin 25 14 Dec 22:57 /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3 -> ../Cellar/openssl@3/3.0.7

1. Install PyCurl specifying inline the above openssl install directories like this

PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/include" pip install --no-cache-dir pycurl


PyCurl installs without any problem but when I try to import pyCurl I get the following error message.

Python 3.7.12 (default, Dec 14 2022, 22:00:27)
[Clang 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pycurl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: pycurl: libcurl link-time version (7.79.1) is older than compile-time version (7.86.0)
>>> quit()


PS:

1. 
   poetry env info --path does return the correct poetry virtual env path.
   
   
2. 
   I tried switching my Python version to 3.8.X and 3.9.X and still having the same issue.
   
   
3. 
   I also updated my curl version to 7.86 using brew and doing a brew --version does conform the same.

What am I missing from the above steps? Thank you in advance for your time...
