Unable to install Scipy using pip install command

Question

I am having this

Python 3.5.3 (v3.5.3:1880cb95a742, Jan 16 2017, 16:02:32) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

configuration and installing scipy on Python but I get this error and fail to understand the issue. Please remain on Python and not Anaconda and others.

(pip3py3) C:\Users\x\PycharmProjects\a>pip install scipy-0.19.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

Have you tried installing the WHL file from Gohlke's website with pip install <filename>.whl? This is often a nice workaround when the package from PyPI won't install. — Michael H.

My problem was somewhat strange. I solved it by installing numpy+mkl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and then scipy installation worked for me.
