It's currently working for pyzmq - so I supect it would work. > Also, I think with pip, you need to tell it to look for binary wheels -- it > won't do that by default. > > pip install --use-wheel numpy I think --use-wheel is the default for the latest pip ... >> so that seems like a clear win. > > > Agreed.

We don't support system python for the mpkg, so I think it's reasonable to leave this little gift for our fellow python.org friends. In that case, the OSX instructions could (within the next few months) be as simple as: Install python from binary installer at python.org curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py python get-pip.py pip install scipy-stack or similar. > (and macports, and homebrew... but those I feel better about requiring to > build your own -- really, that's what those systems are designed to do) Yes, that seems right to me.
