Problems installing SciPy on Python 3.10

Question

This is the output I get when I try to pip install scipy:

    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

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

Not sure totally what's going on, but I think Python is saying that I don't have BLAS and LAPACK libraries installed, but I am, getting the same error after having installed openblas and lapack using homebrew. I am not understanding what error log is telling me.

I am on MacOS Big Sur, and on a 2019 Macbook Pro 16 in. Model with Core i9 processor.

Looks like you need [numpy](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/index.html) installed first. — chickity china chinese chicken, Nov 01 '21 at 23:14
You might want to use [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual) instead, which includes NumPy, SciPy, and other data science libraries. — wjandrea, Nov 01 '21 at 23:22

I suppose this is caused because Scipy has no Python 3.10 support (yet), so trying to install it with that Python should fail somewhere.

Consider using a lower Python version, or use Anaconda (like a user suggested). Also, if you have the time, you can wait for the Scipy developers to release a compatible version (seems like they are fixing some issues related to that).
