If you’re doing data science, do consider the anaconda python distribution with conda environments instead. Intel MKL linked numpy gives a lot better performance, and conda can install binary dependencies for libs that are tricky to compile even on linux. Pip packages are just more work and less performance in my experience (~10x)
