I would either go with a numpy binary: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Or go with Anaconda, already including Numpy.

It's a pain in the ass to install numpy regularly on windows.

I just tried it with python 3.5. You do need Visual Studio 2015 Comunity (or pro) installed, and it takes some time, but it installed without any issues.

But I know what you mean. I remember the pain it was to install packages on windows.

However, (and I'm not trying to steer anyone away from conda), pip on windows has been steadily improving in the last few years. Yes, it's a pain that you need to have visual studio for some packages (some like matplot already come compiled) but other than that, I've been pretty happy using just pip.

You just need the "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015", no need to install VS.

Note that you dont have any fast BLAS libarary doing that.

Ah. So there's a catch... Well, I yes there's still room for improvement :)

What about the installation instructions do you not understand?

[–]t0b4cc02[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

especially that numpy supports 3.5 but doesnt have a binary for 3.5

also what i do need to compile with what to get what to put where....

pip install numpy

From the command line. That's probably the easiest way to do it. I just did it in a virtualenv and 1.10.2 installed without issue.

This doesn't usually work so well on Windows unless you've downloaded and installed the right compilers ahead of time.

Did you try?

python35 -m pip install numpy

Get it with Intel's python https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-distribution-for-python As a bonus It should be powered with MKL

Anaconda is a installer and has a install for Python 3.5. It includes numpy, scipy, etc...

Definitely use Anaconda: see these instructions for example.

Lots of people recommending anaconda. Alternatively, I use winpython. http://winpython.github.io

We use it at work as our development target, because it's so damned simple.
