Problem description

Recently I decide to try out Ubuntu 20.04. The build process failed. See the output in the section above. I replaced my user name with xxx.

Thanks @VirosaLi for the report

I've built it from source on Ubuntu 20.04 and it works fine, did you follow the exact steps from here https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/development/contributing.html#creating-a-development-environment ?

[TomAugspurger]

There were some issues with the latest version of cython.

[MarcoGorelli]

For what it's worth, I have

$ cython --version
Cython version 0.29.16

[fangchenli]

It's a cython issue, version 0.29.20 has this problem. The cython version was pinned 3 days ago. And my forked repo is not up to date with the master branch. I should double check next time.
