<div class="im">If you will forgive an observation from a Mac user and (amateur) developer. I have twice tried to build Numpy from source and both times failed.

Sorry for the rant, but what I'm trying to say is that if there were such a recipe and it was clearly pointed to, then the need for a lengthy list of binaries would be pretty much moot.<br></blockquote><div><br></div>
<div style>Actually, numpy should be easy, but MPL. scipy, etc, -- there is no such think as a single easy recipe -- too many versions of python, OS-X, systems for the dependencies, etc.</div><div style><br></div><div style>
