Cannot install numpy in virtual env python 3.6

Question

I have tried pip install numpy and pip install numpy==1.13.3 and I keep getting this error:

 Command "/home/pi/.virtualenvs/venv_python36/bin/python3.6 -u -c
 "import setuptools,
 tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-f4w3ieb6/numpy/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize,
 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n',
 '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install
 --record /tmp/pip-ngusfvpy-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers /home/pi/.virtualenvs/venv_python36/include/site/python3.6/numpy"
 failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-f4w3ieb6/numpy/

It works fine on python 3.5

Please post the full output returned after pip install numpy. There are more clues in there. (See for example how the output led to an answer in this post.) — unutbu

pip install -U setuptools fixed the problem and I was able to install numpy without issues
