Error while running Google Vision API on raspberry pi

Question

I have a python program that runs Google Vision API on the raspberry pi (Model 3B+), I have installed all the required libraries and have the.json file in place, but still getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/Desktop/SenProjCode.py", line 9, in <module>
    from google.cloud import vision
  File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google/cloud/vision/__init__.py", line 18, in <module>
    from google.cloud.vision_v1.services.image_annotator.async_client import (
  File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google/cloud/vision_v1/__init__.py", line 20, in <module>

ImportError: /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/grpc/_cython/cygrpc.cpython-39-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so: undefined symbol: __atomic_exchange_8
>>> 

This is part of the code I have written:

import os
import io
import picamera
from numpy import random
from gtts import gTTS
from google.cloud import vision
from google.cloud.vision import types
from PIL import Image
import pandas as pd
import vlc
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

##Using the JSON file for the API
os.environ['GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS'] = r'/home/pi/Downloads/GoogleAPI.json'

What gRPC version did you use? I think this will be fixed by gRPC Python 1.44 and in the meantime you may want to use workaround for it.
