Trouble with importing gams module in Python 3.9

Question

I'm having trouble with importing gams module into python program. I'm using python 3.9 via Anaconda. The problem seems to be due to gdxcc is not on the right path, but I do not know how to fix it.

To create the gams module I simply run setup.py from the python API folder of gams. In my case, that is:

cd C:\GAMS\40\apifiles\Python\api_39\
python setup.py install

That created the gams module. However, when I tried to

from gams import *

I got this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_gdxcc'

So I tried to:

pip install gdxcc

But it looks like gdxcc is already installed. Its location is:

C:\Users\<name>\appdata\roaming\python\python39\site-packages\gdxcc-8-py3.9.egg (8)

But I cannot import it because the python code tries to import it from:

"C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\gams2numpy-0.1-py3.9.egg\gdxcc.py"

The full error is:

File "C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\gams2numpy-0.1-py3.9.egg\gdxcc.py", line 11, in <module>
    import _gdxcc
  File "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm 2019.3.4\plugins\python\helpers\pydev\_pydev_bundle\pydev_import_hook.py", line 21, in do_import
    module = self._system_import(name, *args, **kwargs)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_gdxcc'

What should I do to make python recognize gdxcc path? Thank you very much in advance!
