nrfutil ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'constants'

[Bjorn191023]

Hi,

I have installed nrfutil on my Windows 10 computer and get the following error when running it:

C:\Users\00315055>nrfutil --help

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'constants'

I have the following Python version:

C:\Users\00315055>python --version
Python 3.7.4

As of Python 3.9.6 on Win 10 and nrfutil 5.2.0 this still seems to be an issue
