python3-apt is working fine as you can see by it having migrated,
so clearly the modules are importable, otherwise the test suites
fail. You can easily check this yourself by creating a fresh
install or launching a container, install python3-apt and running

    python3 -c "import apt"

Of course did you even check if python3-apt is installed at all?
It's not part of a normal Debian install...

In any case, good luck, I'm out.
