Not possible to install

[anandasm]

Hello! I'm interested in using the dms_tools2 for my SortSeq data analysis, but I cannot install it. I tried running the installation following all the documentation instructions and the installation crashes every time. Seems to be a problem building wheels for some packages: pandas, numpy and pystam. I already contacted our IT and they also weren't able to install it. Is it possible that it is a problem with the installation code?
Thank you for your attention.

It is possible to install up to version 2.6.4, the installation of the v2.6.5 is crashing. The error is: metadata-generation-failed.

I suspect this has to do with pinning of pandas to < 1.0.

The long-term solution would be to update things to work with pandas > 1.0, which should not be that hard but will require some effort to make the tests pass. I am not likely to get to that for a while, though.

What if you first install the latest pre-version 1.0 pandas (I think 0.25.3), and then try to install dms_tools2?
