Do we need to make the build/installation instructions on the website clearer? Maybe explicitly state which common methods of installing python tools should and should not be used? I am not quite familiar with pip and such, but could there be some way to have the numpy package on PyPi return a message saying that one should build from source instead? Or is there something that can be done to make installing using pip better? Ben Root
