More than a year later I think I can advice on the best workaround:
Use virtualenv and you can work with newer versions of Python packages
than those available in your Linux distro of base Python installation.

I am currently learning to use jupyter notebook, pandas and other
nice packages in much more recent versions than available in my Linux
distro.

I hope I can copy this onto my computer at work -- running another Linux
distro where virtualenv3 does not seem to be available.
