I know there have been questions similar to this one before - I read them all and tried what they suggested
Hi, I'm trying to install the scipy and numpy modules on my win 64 machine so I could call them from my IDE of choice. Alas, all my efforts were in vein. Here's what I tried:
1) according to this thread I tried installing with pip. Even though the comments praise the solution is one with longevity, when I ran
pip install git+http://github.com/scipy/scipy/
I got an error:
C:\Python27>pip install git+http://github.com/scipy/scipy/
Downloading/unpacking git+http://github.com/scipy/scipy/
Cloning http://github.com/scipy/scipy/ to c:\users\____\ap
\pip-vguqfv-build

and when I tried:
pip install git+http://github.com/scipy/scipy/
I got:

2) Tried to grab the 64 bit installers from Christoph Gohlke's page like so many places suggest, including scipy.org itself, but I tried multiple times, from multiple machines at multiple locations, the downloads always ultimately failed.
3) Installed Anaconda. Scipy and Numpy are available in IPython now, which is better than nothing but in all honestly I'm not used to the IPython interface and like pyscripter better. Even though I can import Scipy and Numpy alright in IPython, I can in pyscripter or even in the cmd console. Similar results with Canopy, where it's only available within the Canopy IDE.
4) Can't download the binaries directly from sourceforge (e.g. scipy on sourceforge), as they are all for win 32.
So, to get to my question..... what can I do (if anything?). Would appreciate your help. Thanks!
