Install Scipy 1.0.0: AssertionError

I am trying to install scipy 1.0.0 in a conda env for another software called GATK.
I installed python 3.6.10 and numpy 1.17.5, which are said to be compatible with scipy 1.0.0 (both in the yml file provided by GATK)
However, when I tried installing via python setup.py build, it returns error message as below. I searched by seems like others are mostly struggling with scipy 1.1.0 or some other errors.
Really appreciate any help!
Thanks!

Exceptions when installing lxml

On Mac OS 10.14.6, I'm trying to install lxml for Python 3.6 with:

any help will appreciate!

Depending on your setup, you might install lxml with one of these commands:
$ apt-get install python-lxml
$ easy_install lxml
$ pip install lxml

How I make pip see libgit2 binary while installing pygit2 in windows?

I'm trying to install pygit2 using pip python script, but it always fails with this message
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
I don't have Visual Studio installed, so I tried to compile libgit2 using MinGW and it worked. but pip still cant figure that libgit2 is installed.
What am I supposed to do ?
EDIT
I installed Visual Studio express 2010 and run the command again, this time the error different :

ZipImportError while installing setuptools windows 7

I want to install django framework, but I need setuptools for it. I found the same question here on stackoverflow, but it doesn't seem to provide a solution.
I use official installing instructions for setuptools on win7
but it doesn't finish, it says it has been installed, but it isn't completely (I can't import it in django\setup.py). Since it's a module helping to setup other modules it's kind of fail it cannot install itself. I get this error:

Something went wrong during the installation.
See the error message above.

Try the 3.0 version https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-3.0.zip. It worked on my Python v2.75 when I had the same problem.

easy_install can't install package

I'm trying to write a setup.py file for my python project:
import os
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
here = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
requires = [
'requests',
'simplejson',
'logging',
'rfc3987',
]
setup(name='xxxxxxx',
version='0.1',
description='xxxxxxx API',
url='https://github.com/xxxxxxxx',
packages=find_packages(),
include_package_data=True,
zip_safe=False,
install_requires=requires,
)
When I execute it I'm getting this error:

If I try just easy_install rfc3987 I'm getting the same error.
Are there any ways to go around this?

rfc3987 claims that it works on Python 2.7 and 3.x. You're trying to install it on 2.6. So it fails.
The problem has nothing to do with your own package, or with easy_install. If you download the tarball manually and run python2.6 setup.py install, you get the same error. And in fact, at least in 1.3.1, there's code that clearly isn't legal under Python 2.6, like this function.
From the git history, it looks like there have been changes to make it Python 2.6 compatible, so the next release may work. Until then, you won't be able to use it from 2.6.
