Windows Scipy Install: No Lapack/Blas Resources Found

The following link should solve all problems with Windows and SciPy; just choose the appropriate download. I was able to pip install the package with no problems. Every other solution I have tried gave me big headaches.

Source: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy

Command:

 pip install [Local File Location]\[Your specific file such as scipy-0.16.0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl]

This assumes you have installed the following already:

  1. Install Visual Studio 2015/2013 with Python Tools
    (Is integrated into the setup options on install of 2015)

  2. Install Visual Studio C++ Compiler for Python

    File Name: VCForPython27.msi

  3. Install Python Version of choice
    Source: python.org
    File Name (e.g.): python-2.7.10.amd64.msi
