Do you have a minimal reproducer?

[ashoksiri]

no, but we can create a new django project and import pandas in any views you will get this error.

🤷 I can't reproduce with just pandas (on amd64), but there isn't anything that we can change in the image since to address this since it was only just a regular Python version bump. I would guess there could be an incompatibility between the pip installed packages and the new Python release (a bug and reproducer filed where the issue is) or possibly (unlikely) a regression in Python (and filed with them).
