'bz2 is module not available' when installing Pandas with pip in python virtual environment

Question

I am going through this post Numpy, Scipy, and Pandas - Oh My!, installing some python packages, but got stuck at the line for installing Pandas:

pip install         


        

Answer 1

pyenv

I noticed that installing Python using source takes a long time (I am doing it on i7 :/ ); especially the make and make test...

A simpler and shorter solution was to install another version of Python (I did Python 3.7.8) using pyenv, install it using these steps.

It not only saved the problem of using multiple Python instances on the same system but also maintain my virtual environments without virtualenvwrapper (which turned buggy on my newly setup ubuntu-20.04).
