I'm not sure how to apply this change #37144 when using pip.

pip install pandas

works on Linux without this change. Unfortunately I don't have a Windows machine to test this.

In the meantime, my personal recommendation is to use Python 3.8 with Anaconda. New programmers usually find it much easier to use than pip.

If you really need to use Python 3.9, please give us more details about how you set up the Python enviroment and install pandas. Someone might be able to tell what the problem is.

I had the same issue i was able to fix it by installing the visual studio build tools which can be found here https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017
then pip install numpy
then pip install pandas

I had the same issue and was using virtualenv for my environment. I switched over to pipenv and then pandas installed like a charm. Im on MacOs Big Sur.

pip3 install pipenv
pipenv shell
pip3 install pandas

@LotusLine I have the same issue but when I try to use your code, the message error : 'pipenv : command not found' appeared. Any solutions please? I have been trying to install pandas for a couples of hours with no success now...
