These days I use pip to install packages, and so far for the things I 
need it simply works. "pip install numpy" works, same for psycopg2, 
pillow, pandas, and other packages I use. Conda should work too, for 
those who use the Anaconda Python distribution. I honestly don't even 
know how it's done: are there some kind souls who provide the wheels 
(binary packages) for all those things, or if there is maybe a build 
farm that does the hard work to make things easy for us.

In the past I've used Christoph Gohlke's site and I'm very grateful for 
the service it provided, but these days I don't really need it anymore, 
luckily.
