Can't install Scipy through pip
After opening up an issue with the SciPy team, we found that you need to upgrade pip with:
pip install --upgrade pip
And in Python 3
this works:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
for SciPy to install properly. Why? Because:
Older versions of pip have to be told to use wheels, IIRC with --use-wheel. Or you can upgrade pip itself, then it should pick up the wheels.
Upgrading pip solves the issue, but you might be able to just use the --use-wheel
flag as well.
Microsoft Windows users of 64 bit Python installations will need to download the 64 bit .whl
of Scipy from here, then simply cd
into the folder you've downloaded the .whl
file and run:
pip install scipy-0.16.1-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
I face same problem when install Scipy under ubuntu.
I had to use command:
$ sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev gfortran
$ sudo pip3 install scipy

Sorry don't know how to do it under OS X Yosemite.
