Question

It is possible to install NumPy with pip using pip install numpy.

Is there a similar possibility with SciPy? (Doing pip install scipy does not work.)

Update

The package SciPy is now available to be installed with pip!

Answer 1

An attempt to easy_install indicates a problem with their listing in the Python Package Index, which pip searches.

easy_install scipy
Searching for scipy
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/scipy/

All is not lost, however; pip can install from Subversion (SVN), Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar repositories. SciPy uses SVN:

pip install svn+http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/trunk/#egg=scipy

Update (12-2012):

pip install git+https://github.com/scipy/scipy.git

Since NumPy is a dependency, it should be installed as well.
