After some struggle, RC1 wheels up at http://wheels.scipy.org/

Built via : https://travis-ci.org/MacPython/matplotlib-wheels/builds/80587383

If you're testing Python 3.5 you'll need the patched numpy 1.9.2 wheel
from nipy.bic.berkeley.edu :

pip install  -f https://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/scipy_installers numpy

Cheers,

Matthew
