Re: [Numpy-discussion] Should I use pip install numpy in linux?

Does anyone know if there's been any movements with the PyPI folks on allowing linux wheels to be uploaded? I know you can never be certain what's provided by the distro, but it seems like if Anaconda can solve the cross-distro-binary-distribution-of-compiled-python-extensions problem, there

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Should I use pip install numpy in linux?

Well, it's always possible to copy the dependencies like libopenblas.so into the wheel and fix up the RPATHs, similar to the way the Windows wheels work. I'm not sure if this is the right path for numpy or not, but it seems like something would be suitable for some projects with compiled

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Should I use pip install numpy in linux?

Doesn't building on CentOS 5 also mean using a quite old version of gcc? I've never tested this, but I've seen claims on the anaconda mailing list of ~25% slowdowns compared to building from source or using system packages, which was attributed to building using an older gcc that doesn't optimize
