Python - Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-21ft0H/pandas

Question

I'm using Centos 7 and Python 2.7.5. The problem is when I install Pandas, i got this error message

SystemError: Cannot compile 'Python.h'. Perhaps you need to install python-dev|python-devel.

I already tried a lot of solutions but no success even yum -y update.

Are you in a virtualenv? It looks like you're installing using `pip install pandas`, is this correct? What do you get when running `pip -V` and `python -V` inside and outside of the virtualenv (if applies)? — Sebastian, Nov 12 '15 at 16:21

Distribute has been merged into Setuptools as of version 0.7. If you are using a version <=0.6, upgrade using pip install --upgrade setuptools or easy_install -U setuptools.

I already found the answer. I need to install python via RPM.

rpm -i ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/centos/7.1.1503/updates/x86_64/Packages/python-2.7.5-18.el7_1.1.x86_64.rpm

In my case for continuos integration work:

before_script:
  - apk update && apk add python3-dev
  - apk add --no-cache python3-dev libstdc++
  - apk add --update curl gcc g++
  - ln -s /usr/include/locale.h /usr/include/xlocale.h
  - pip3 install numpy
  - pip3 install pandas
  - rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*
  - python -V
  - python -m pip install --upgrade pip
  - python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel --user --no-cache-dir

I got this error while installing mysqlclient from pip3

So I executed command :

sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev libmysqlclient-dev

After executing this command i was able to install mysqlclient successfully

Note:- Version Number 3.6 is to be replaced by your python version
