We're very nearly there now.

The latest versions of numpy, scipy, scikit-image, pandas, numexpr,
statsmodels wheels for testing at
http://ccdd0ebb5a931e58c7c5-aae005c4999d7244ac63632f8b80e089.r77.cf2.rackcdn.com/

Please do test with:

python -m install --upgrade pip

pip install --trusted-host=ccdd0ebb5a931e58c7c5-aae005c4999d7244ac63632f8b80e089.r77.cf2.rackcdn.com

numpy scipy scikit-learn numexpr

python -c 'import numpy; numpy.test("full")'
python -c 'import scipy; scipy.test("full")'

We would love to get any feedback as to whether these work on your machines.

Cheers,
