Package python-scipy is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-scipy' has no installation candidate

What version of Ubuntu are you using? Did you enable the universe repository? — steeldriver, Jan 26 '15 at 18:41
http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/python-scipy it is in universe. Do you have that active? — Rinzwind, Jan 26 '15 at 18:41
Try installing scipy from the Ubuntu Software Center. The reason for using the Software Center is that there are two python-scipy packages: python-scipy and python-scipy:i386 and this will let you choose the package that matches your operating system's architecture. — karel, Jan 26 '15 at 18:54

Do you have "Universe" enabled? See here: https://askubuntu.com/a/148645/16395
