I tried:

pip install mujoco_py

pip install -U 'mujoco-py<2.1,>=2.0'

Also downgrading to python 3.6 did not help.

On Ubuntu 18.04 running in WSL under Windows10

From Ubuntu 18, installed fresh on a couple machines with varied experiences over a few weeks...one worked with pip install mujoco-py=2.0.2.7; another worked by cloning the repo and installing; but yet another had successful cloned-repo install but ran into the gcc error on importing mujoco_py (like in #501), which was finally resolved by apt install gcc, which put a new gcc-7 on the machine, then pip install mujoco-py gave hints through a series of missing libraries like patchelf (apt-get install patchelf) and -lGL (apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev mesa-common-dev), and finally success.

Not sure that reproduces, but hope it helps!

Updating the gcc worked for me; OS Catalina
