No module named 'zstandard.backend_c'

Question

Im trying to submit datadog metrics using package datadog_api_client.v2.api.metrics_api, But while submitting the metrics, i'm getting error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zstandard.backend_c' although i have zstandard package installed.

My installed packages are as below, and ive tried different other versions as well.

Python 3.9.6 
datadog-api-client==2.14.0 
urllib3==1.26.8 
zstandard==0.21.0

This is how i submit my metrics to datadog,

from datadog_api_client import ApiClient, Configuration
from datadog_api_client.v2.api.metrics_api import MetricsApi
api_client = ApiClient(my_credentials)
metrics_api = MetricsApi(api_client)
metrics_api.submit_metrics(content_encoding=MetricContentEncoding.ZSTD1,body=MetricPayload(series=my_metrics_list))

Error i get, ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zstandard.backend_c'

I ran into this issue when I was running my script on MacOS. But then it worked perfectly fine on Amazon Linux.
