ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bitarray' - Python 3.9 on MacOS

[tardoe]

There seems to be an issue with importing the bitarray module - the module imports just fine with a plain python runtime prompt but the plugin call doesn't seem to acknowledge it's installed.

This should by fixed in the next release, as bitarray library is no longer used. See https://github.com/robshakir/pyangbind/pull/297.
