That is essentially possible now.

1. Go to Christoph Gohlke's website and download his bdist_wininst
installers for numpy and scipy.
2. Make sure you have pip 1.4+, setuptools and wheel installed (you only
need wheel for the wheel convert step)
3. wheel convert numpy-*.exe; wheel convert scipy-*.exe
4. pip install numpy*.whl scipy*.whl

You need to manually choose the right wininst installers for your
architecture (or you can grab and wheel convert them all and let the
architecture tags choose the right ones).

I don't believe that Christoph's installers need a postinstall step, so the
architecture/instruction set issues don't apply. But I've only visually
checked and done some minimal use tests myself.

Paul.
