In the current ordering, with setuptools 15.00, the installation of scipy fails.

It seems that the package are installed in the order medpy scipy numpy

But scipy requires numpy and throws an error during install. Hence we are left with medpy and numpy install, but no scipy.

This might be related to https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2478

This should be fixed soon!

numpy is actually compiled first... but not installed before scipy is compiled. Changing the order or leaving just scipy (which depends on numpy) named therefore does not resolve the problem. It seems, like there is no real solution.

Fazit: Installing with python setup.py requires either numpy or scipy to be already installed.

Reflect this requirement in the installation instructions of the documentation if no solution can be found.

Is this still the case?

Hasn't been an issue lately. Re-open when it comes up again.
