In my experience the difficulty is figuring out which non-Python
dependencies you need installed (libraries, header files, compilers,
build tools). Cheating (of the 'sudo apt-get build-dep python-numpy'
kind) helps, if what you're trying to install is a (newer version of a)
package that's already been packaged for your distribution.
Is that what you experience too, or are there other sources of pain?
