I started with pypi (and cvxpy) and drilled down from there. I try to avoid stuff like swig whenever I can.  The innoccuous warning can probably be removed by providing the required egg folder? But I don't know such details. I have swig installed and also made atlas available. The installation of cvxopt isn't trivial either. Ideally you get the cvxpy package into anaconda?"}}
