</div>It's probably worth noting that numpy are toying around with wheels and<br>
have uploaded a number of them to PyPI for testing:<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/wheels_to_test/" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/wheels_to_test/</a><br>
<br>
Currently there are only OSX wheels there (excluding the puer Python<br>
ones) and they're not available on PyPI. I assume that they're waiting<br>
for a solution for the Windows installer (a post-install script for<br>
wheels). That would give a lot more impetus to put wheels up on PyPI.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Indeed. We discussed just picking the SSE2 or SSE3 build and putting that up as a wheel, but that was deemed a not so great idea: <a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/56072" target="_blank">http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/56072</a><br>

The Sourceforge OSX wheels are presumably not getting that much use<br>
right now. The OSX-specific numpy wheel has been downloaded 4 times in<br>
the last week: twice on Windows and twice on Linux!<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Some feedback from the people who did try those wheels would help. I asked for that on the numpy list after creating them, but didn't get much. So I haven't been in a hurry to move them over to PyPi. </div>
