I'm using the Python from the Miniconda installer with py35 released last week. Then you should not expect it to be able to find compatible binary wheels on PyPi. Pretty much the entire point of conda is to support Numpy and friends. It's actually really good that it DIDN'T go and install a binary wheel. You want: conda install numpy Trust me on that :-) There are some cases where pip installing a source package into a conda Python is fine -- but mostly only pure-Python packages. -CHB What does the python.org installer build for 10.6+ return for `distutils.util.get_platform()`? -Robert On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 2:50 PM, Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> wrote: > In article > <can4+e8gz4jrqfcbkwak4rkfkx-t15b_ghmath6raekhqkhx...@mail.gmail.com>, > Robert McGibbon <rmcgi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I just tried to run `pip install numpy` on my OS X 10.10.3 box, and it > > proceeds to download and compile the tarball from PyPI from source (very > > slow).
