E: Package 'python-scipy' has no installation candidate

Upon installing a software, I am finding the following error multiple times:

$ sudo python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 24, in <module>
    from software_name import PACKAGE_NAME
  File "/home/username/Softwares/software_name/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
import scipy
ImportError: No module named scipy

I can install many of the missing modules with, e.g., sudo apt-get install -y python-numpy, but sometimes I get:

username@username:~/Softwares/software_name$ sudo apt-get install -y python-scipy

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

And I am really not sure what is going on? I have read on another thread that the 20.04 LTS repository has NumPy, but does not have SciPy.

EDIT:

$ sudo apt install python-pip

However the following packages replace it:
  python3-pip
