This is the fault of the package author/maintainer
Sometimes the fault of the package author/maintainer. Sometimes this is the fault of a different package you're also trying to use in tandem. Ultimately this is a problem with the shared library approach python takes and it can be 'solved' by vendoring within your own package.
Assuming the package is good, this is a problem with your build system. It's like complaining a make file won't run because your system doesn't have gcc installed.
Unfortunately there's a ton of this kind of stuff. I suppose you can blame pypi for this, they should have some kind of warning for essentially abandoned projects.
