No module named '_cffi_backend' with gspread module

I tried to import gspread. I could successfully import until last week, but it fails from this Monday.

import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages")
import gspread

It returns an error, ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_cffi_backend', although I have already installed cffi:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_cffi_backend'

I deleted and reinstalled related packages (gspread, cffi). I confirmed that cffi is at /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages with pip3 show cffi.

How can I successfully import gspread?

I had the same problem and I fixed it by reinstalling the cffi package:

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall cffi
