[New-bugs-announce] [issue38028] Assertion error in Python 3.8

[Ana]

New submission from Ana <annalischensnow at gmail.com>:

After all, I am trying to install the dev version of Numpy and the other libs. Unfortunately, I am still unable to install them. I have some assertion errors:

ERROR: Exception:

    assert not (home and prefix), "home={} prefix={}".format(home, prefix)
AssertionError: home=/private/tmp/pip-target-4p5evqc_ prefix=/private/tmp/pip-build-env-b27ru_1v/overlay

That's the first time I see such an issue and googling doesn't resolve it at all
