Updating pandas to 0.24.2 revealed as :

  File "develop-eggs/astroid-1.3.8+slapospatched001-py2.7.egg/astroid/raw_building.py", line 360, in _set_proxied
    return _CONST_PROXY[const.value.__class__]
KeyError: <type 'numpy.ufunc'>

when linting code referencing pandas. The problem is actually with some numpy ufunc, such as numpy.sin, but we don't seem to have code using it in the test suite.
