#54342 — scipy 11 and scipy 12

Our group is a python 2.7 which is installed in a shared area.  We  
have scipy 11 installed in site-packages.  How would I install scipy  
12 so that I used the shared install of python but scipy 12 instead of  
11?

If you are using Python 2.6 or better, you should be able to include the 
option "--user" when installing Scipy using either pip or distutils. I 
haven't tried these, but:

# using pip:
pip install --install-option="--user" scipy


If that fails, follow the advice given here to install from svn:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2213551/installing-scipy-with-pip


pip install --install-option="--user" git+http://github.com/scipy/scipy/


Otherwise, if you are installing from source using distutils, add the 
--user option directly:

python setup.py install --user scipy



Does this help?

Is there a difference between --install-option="--user" and just
passing --user directly?

To be clear any of the above options are for building scipy from
source which means you need a C compiler, a Fortran compiler and to
separately build/install BLAS/LAPACK:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7496547/python-scipy-needs-blas

The best instructions for meeting these requirements depend on your OS
(are you using Windows?).

For Python 2.7 I think that easy_install will be able to install from
the sourceforge binaries, e.g

    easy_install --user scipy

but I may be wrong.

You'll need to ensure that you don't have a mismatch between
numpy/scipy versions and I don't know if easy_install will handle that
for you. This may mean separately installing numpy as well.

*shrug*

I don't have any experience with pip, so I don't know.

If I recall correctly, and I may not, easy_install doesn't support per-
user installs with the --user option.

I should add that I meant the above as a suggestion for a Windows user.

It has the option:

$ easy_install --help | grep -- --user
  --user                     install in user site-package 'C:\Documents and

I just don't know if that works when easy_install works from a binary
rather than an sdist.
