Both numpy and pandas are installed globally with no problems. I tried re installing numpy, upgrading pip3, re installing setup tools. Nothing worked as expected, as i don't even understand the error message.

Answer 1

I had the same issue! [Ubuntu 16, python 3.5] After creating my virtual environment using python3 -m venv .env, I could not install pandas in my .env virtual environment. This is how I fixed it:

The pip version of my virtualenv was pip-8.1.1. I ran the following command to upgrade it to pip-20.0.2:

pip install --upgrade pip

Then, ran pip install pandas to install pandas successfully within my virtual env!

Successfully installed numpy-1.18.1 pandas-0.24.2 python-dateutil-2.8.1 pytz-2019.3 six-1.14.0
