Tired of waiting for a SciPy package to come out for SL6, I tried to
compile a version and was surprised to find success.
The Fedora 14 SRPM builds on SL6 after satisfying two dependencies from
the same source, and replacing ufsparse-devel with suitesparse-devel in
the BuildRequires. (A mystery to me why the FC14 spec does not already
have that.)
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Everything/source/SRPMS/
Build order:
tbb-2.2-2.20090809.fc14.src.rpm
suitesparse-3.4.0-2.fc12.src.rpm
scipy-0.7.2-2.fc14.src.rpm
It imports in python with no errors.
P.S. Possibly of interest - python-matplotlib-1.0.0-2.fc14.src.rpm also
builds with a minor kludge to the spec:

Perhaps EPEL could be persuaded to provide these.
