If we relax things too much, will we also get homebrew and macports and built-it-myself pythons, and will they work?
Not likely. On 10.7 and 10.8 python.org and system python use llvm-gcc while IIRC homebrew used clang. There's probably more differences.
So the question is: If someone is running a brew python and does "pip install numpy" will pip find a binary wheel that will then not work? That would be bad, but maybe not our problem -- brew users should be using brew to build numpy anyway. It would be nicer if it didn't happen, though. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
