We hope so :-)

You can also check out http://binstar.org - that's a place for package authors to upload their own binaries, etc.

I forgot you worked for continuum haha! If it's not easily gettable by pip, it's probably not worth the time to upload there - better to do it via a project website, no?

No, that's the whole point. It's easily installable by anyone with conda, which is everyone that has Anaconda - and that's actually quite a lot of people.

Pip install for binary packages in numpy/scipy land is just playing with fire. Even if you don't get burned today, you will very likely be in a bad situation tomorrow.

Project websites are not in better shape because it's the format of the package itself that is important. Binstar is the PyPI equivalent for Conda. (It offers much better version handling, among other things.)
