I think it is; AIUI, with an ancient SSL library, pip is unable to
download packages safely from the current pypi server. So if anyone
actually does need to use pip with Python 2.7, they probably need to
set up a local server, using older encryption protocols (which should
therefore NOT be made accessible to the internet). Since pip can't
contact the upstream pypi, there's no available numpy for it to
install.
