ModuleNotFoundError for rest_framework occurs when the rest_framework package is not installed or not visible to the active Python interpreter. Common causes include using a different virtual environment, installing with pip for a different Python version, missing 'rest_framework' in INSTALLED_APPS, or misconfigured PYTHONPATH. Fixes include running python -m pip install djangorestframework (or pip install djangorestframework), activating the correct virtualenv, adding 'rest_framework' to Django's INSTALLED_APPS, verifying installation with pip show, and ensuring containers or deployment environments have the package installed. Restarting the development server and reviewing requirements.txt or Dockerfiles prevents regressions.
