No that is not how homebrew works. Brew does not pack anything that pip
installable: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/Homebrew-and-Python
so that would be a big issue. Especially since installing numpy with pip
and brew python just works without any problem when building from source.

There are unofficial brew taps (channels) with python packages but this not
the recommended way.
