Module not found error when importing umfpack MacOS Monterey M1 chip

Question

I installed umfpack using pip install scikit-umfpack and tried importing the umfpack module

from scikits import umfpack

I'm running into the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/christianadib/pyfrbus_package/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/scikits/umfpack/_umfpack.py", line 18, in swig_import_helper
    fp, pathname, description = imp.find_module('__umfpack', [dirname(__file__)])
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/imp.py", line 296, in find_module
    raise ImportError(_ERR_MSG.format(name), name=name)
ImportError: No module named '__umfpack'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
