Can't install Scipy through pip

After opening up an issue with the SciPy team, we found that you need to upgrade pip with:

pip install --upgrade pip

And in Python 3 this works:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

for SciPy to install properly. Why? Because:

Older versions of pip have to be told to use wheels, IIRC with --use-wheel. Or you can upgrade pip itself, then it should pick up the wheels.

Upgrading pip solves the issue, but you might be able to just use the --use-wheel flag as well.

Microsoft Windows users of 64 bit Python installations will need to download the 64 bit .whl of Scipy from here, then simply cd into the folder you've downloaded the .whl file and run:

pip install scipy-0.16.1-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
