Re: [scikit-learn] Declaring numpy and scipy dependencies?

I think that should work fine for the `pip install scikit-learn`, however, I think the problem was with upgrading, right? Well so far the compiling was more the issue. 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.

Well, but that's a pip usability bug. Also, with binary wheels, this shouldn't be a big deal.
