Facing the same issue:
File "pandas/_libs/internals.pyx", line 572, in pandas._libs.internals.BlockManager.cinit
TypeError: cinit() takes at least 2 positional arguments (0 given)

My build made on 6th Feb 2021 passes with the same code.
I have been using the latest version of Pandas for my build.

I am also encountering this issue!

Same here. Got the same error after updating to pandas 1.3 and reading data frames written with pickle and pandas 1.2.4. After downgrading back to 1.2.4, I could read the old data frames using pickle again.

I am facing the same issue. I managed to make it work with pandas=1.2.4

[xianyuanliu]

Same here. Works with pandas=1.1.5.

I replace pickle.load with pandas.read_pickle and it seems fine. I still don't know whether they are the same.
