Can't be fixed currently: Numba isn't compatible with python 3.9 (now compatible with 3.8)

[jaclark5]

At least on a make, Numba cannot be installed for python 3.8. Everything works for python up to version 3.7.5.

I similar issue has been discussed and solved on the numba page, but not implemented in the version available to conda. numba/numba#4071

When installing with numpy setuptools:
ld: in /anaconda3/envs/desp-update/lib/python3.8/site-packages/numpy/core/lib/libnpymath.a(npy_math.o), could not parse object file /anaconda3/envs/desp-update/lib/python3.8/site-packages/numpy/core/lib/libnpymath.a(npy_math.o): 'Unknown attribute kind (62) (Producer: 'LLVM9.0.0' Reader: 'LLVM APPLE_1_1001.0.46.4_0')', using libLTO version 'LLVM version 10.0.1, (clang-1001.0.46.4)' for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

When installing with conda, the following inconsistencies when installing numba are identified.
Package ca-certificates conflicts for:
python=3.8 -> openssl[version='>=1.1.1a,<1.1.2a'] -> ca-certificates
numba -> setuptools -> ca-certificates

Issues between python 3.8 and numba have been resolved, and so python 3.8 is now supported.
