Hi, Thanks to Chuck and Jarrod for giving me upload permission - wheels are on sourceforge now: https://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.8.1rc1 Until the wheels reach pypi, you'll have to test by: * downloading the python 2.7 or 3.3 wheel to a directory (say the current directory) and: * upgrading pip to latest (1.5.4): http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html * pip install --pre --find-links . numpy The wheels match the python.org python. You can make them install on system python at your own risk (likely small) with `pip install numpy-1.8.1rc1-cp27-none-macosx_10_6_intel.whl` (hoping you do in fact have python 2.7 as your system python). Feedback very welcome, especially from anyone running homebrew python trying the direct pip install above. Cheers, Matthew
