title: scipy installation in windows 10 using pip
body: <p>From the past two days, I've been trying to install <code>scipy</code> from the wheel file available from <a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy</a> in my windows laptop 64 bit built and running Python 2.7.3. I tried running <code>pip install scipy</code> in the command window, it didn't work and the following error popped up in command prompt</p>

  <p>I also tried typing </p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install scipy-version.whl
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That didn't work too! and the same error popped up. I even updated my pip. </p>
  
  <p>I read in some comments that pip doesn't work well for scipy installation. If so, what alternatives can you suggest? If not can you tell me the way to install using wheel scripts?</p>
