Python – numpy: No module named '_ctypes' – CentOS

I have to run a python 3 script on a centos 7 host. I’ve installed python3.8 side by side with python2 so it doesn’t break yum.

When I’m running the script I need to run I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "A2PTestSuit.py", line 8, in <module>
    import pandas as pd
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pandas/__init__.py", line 16, in <module>
    raise ImportError(
ImportError: Unable to import required dependencies:
numpy: No module named '_ctypes'

If I list the modules I see that pandas and numpy are installed: 

python3 -m pip list

six             1.13.0
urllib3         1.25.7

How can I get past this error?

    You can try updating all of your packages in the command line using pip, or just use try: import ... except ImportError: continue

    I’ve got same issue. Problem was solved after I change default interpreter (which was Python 3.8) in PyCharm
