Here's the traceback; it's rather lengthy:

Basically, the numpy folks have said they have no plans to support
easy_install because it uses eggs (
http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/860) which I understand and they are
right that it works just fine using pip because it's installed from source;
but you're saying the same thing here, AFAIK:

It basically runs python setup.py install on the dependencies


So I guess I'm at a loss as to why it's not working as intended.
