wheels for OS X: request for testing
Hi all, At http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/wheels_to_test/ you can find a set of wheels, for numpy, scipy and ipython plus its dependencies. These are for the following configuration only: - OSX >= 10.6 - Python 2.7 32/64-bit from python.org It would be great if OS X users could test these. We're interested in whether these wheels work, and also if you run into any issues installing wheels. Since (a) I'm not really sure myself what the recommended and most robust way is to install wheels, and (b) it's interesting to see if the docs and usability of pip/wheel are ready for prime time, I'm not going to give the commands to execute but instead link to the relevant docs: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/index.html http://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ http://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html Please try this out and share your experience. Thanks, Ralf P.S.if you're wondering what on earth wheels are, they're the new binary install format for the standard python packaging and distribution tools (pip, setuptools).
Thanks Ralf! Since (a) I'm not really sure myself what the recommended and most robust way is to install wheels, and (b) it's interesting to see if the docs and usability of pip/wheel are ready for prime time, I'm not going to give the commands to execute but instead link to the relevant docs: Good idea. But I will add one tip: you should be able to install ipython with one command, and have it auto-mgically suck in its dependencies (and you probably want to use: ipython[all] So that you get all the deps you need for the notebook -- that's where the challenge lies... -Chris

One more note:
These were built on a 10.7 machine, so I'm particularly interested to hear
how they work on 10.6, if anyone has an old machine around...
