It's really momentous that at LAST there is a Windows binary distribution available on PyPI. `pip install scipy numpy matplotlib` finally just works when you install Python on Windows.
- dr_zoidberg 9y agoFor years I used Gohlkes installers/wheels[0] to install a great deal of libs on windows easily, SciPy amongst them. For a few packages, it still is the best alternative. [0] http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
- fredley 9y agoIt's still a bit scary to me that one of the lynchpins of Python Data Processing remains, to some extent, to be this page.
- oneweekwonder 9y agoYou only need it if you cannot use a *nix? So a lynchpins for the Windows Python Data Processing community?
- luch 9y agoMoreover, the builds are delivered over HTTP and the .whl are not signed ...
- ipunchghosts 9y agoI think Gohlkes should be rewarded for his work. I attribute his efforts to save hours on mine. Thank you for all you've done.
- mynewtb 9y agoI wish he would let people help mirror them. Instead the links are all obfuscated and you cannot automate downloads which complicates installation.
- drwu 9y agoFinally I can uninstall `miniconda` and use the official python+pip.
- Redoubts 9y agoWhat’s wrong with anaconda? It’s a good distribution for the science stack.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoI've pretty much given up on pip/pip-env on Windows. Anaconda has given me zero problems (even outside of scientific computing) and does everything that I wanted pip/pip-env to do, so I see no reason to switch back.
- jonnycomputer 9y agoEven on *nix, anaconda is a godsend for those who don't have sudo and have to install everything in their home directories, without spending a godawful amount of time digging themselves out of dependency hell.
- akx 9y ago`pip install --user` has been working nicely for a while.
- taeric 9y agoThat only works for the python side of things, right?
- jonnycomputer 9y agothat's a good point, because conda isn't just python.

- roystonvassey 9y agoYes, the number of times I've run to BLAS/Lapack errors on Windows with Python were countless. I'm glad to see this has been fixed though I moved to Unix OSes a few years back.
- make3 9y agocould've installed anaconda though
