When I try to install scipy using pip install scipy it fails with the following traceback

I’m using Mountain Lion, and python 2.7.3 which I installed using homebrew, and numpy was installed using pip install numpy.
Why is the scipy install failing?
This seems to be an issue with pip and numpy, which doesn’t copy the compiled libraries into the site-packages directory.
You could install using pip into a virtualenv (which worked for me)
or
install from source using the
method.
There are some comments about issue here:
