Unable to install scipy in the python:3 image

I managed to do the install by preinstalling some debian packages before:
RUN apt-get update -qqy && apt-get install -qqy libopenblas-dev gfortran

Have the same issue here, although all of those are installed on my system or in the virtualenv I am using. Somehow it doesn't find the libraries.

Turns out it all worked when I created a new virutalenv. The other one was created by anaconda and that's why the dependencies couldn't be found by pip.

I think this is fixed now! 😄

$ docker run -it --rm python:3 bash

I found a local, portable install was helpful for tricky situations, winpython for example. You keep all the packages in there as well and can just travel with your full Python install. I had good luck with enthought, but when a tricky issue came up, winpython was the answer.

I've retested it and it's working now. Great! Not sure how it was fixed, though.
