I think that should work fine for the `pip install scikit-learn`, however, I think the problem was with upgrading, right? E.g., if you run
pip install scikit-learn --upgrade
it would try to upgrade numpy and scipy as well, which may not be desired. I think the only workaround would be to run
pip install scikit-learn --upgrade --no-deps
unless they changed the behavior recently. I mean, it’s not really a problem, but many users may not know about the --no-deps flag.
Also - the install will work fine for platforms with wheels, but is still bad for platforms without - like the Raspberry Pi.
Hm... so these would be ARM wheels? Or Raspberry Pi specific ones?
No, they'd have to be Raspberry Pi specific ones because no-one has worked out a general ARM-wide specification, as we have for Intel Linux = manylinux1.
Do you know if there are plans? Not sure how I feel about this. Do all platforms need to have wheels before we can rely on them?
I'm not sure either - just throwing it out there... Matthew
