Scipy: cant install scipy using pip

Created on 24 Sep 2016 · 3Comments · Source: scipy/scipy

For some reason scipy is unable to install.

I have seen some issues on stackoverflow and here about errors during compiling but they reported to have fixed the issue by upgrading pip which didnt work in my case.

I'm a bit new to python so maybe i'm just overlooking something

PS C:\Users\paul> python2 -m pip install scipy

Note: if you need reliable uninstall behavior, then install
with pip instead of using `setup.py install`:

  - `pip install .`       (from a git repo or downloaded source
                           release)
  - `pip install scipy`   (last SciPy release on PyPI)
