Describe what you expected:
I expect your examples work
Steps to reproduce the issue:

@eliranwong what Python version are you using? This library currently only works with Python 3.7. This error usually happens when trying to use a newer version of Python.
The C.PyDict_ClearFreeList function has been removed from the Python C API with Python 3.9.
It is possible to use newer version of Python if you remove some functions from
go-python/cpy3/datadog/go-python3(bindings to stuff that has been removed from Python's C-API in newer version). For example, Python 3.8 works if you remove the bindings forPyEval_ReInitThreads, like I did here. More stuff might need to get removed for Python 3.9 and newer.If you're having trouble installing Python 3.7 on your Linux distro, we have various examples of how to build it from source:
Hope this helps.
