Scipy on Python 3.5 – manual installation

Christoph Gohlkes binaries for Python on Windows are a godsend when you need to install a package that requires a C compiler, like numpy or scipy, though he only tends to host binaries for the latest versions of the packages (but for all current versions of CPython).

When installing these binaries, make sure that the platform on the binary (usually win32 or win_amd64) matches the type of Python you installed (32-bit or 64-bit), and note that it may not match your OSs bit-ness if you installed a 32-bit version of Python on a 64-bit OS.

Since you apparently have a 64-bit version of Python 3.5 installed, the wheel you want is scipy‑0.16.1‑cp35‑none‑win_amd64.whl.
