Dear all, there was indeed a problem with the homebrew installation, as homebrew changed their way how they treat python dependencies. This should be fixed now. If you had trouble with installing using homebrew, then please retry after calling "brew update". All the best, Michael On 23.04.2014 15:21, Sebastian Huber wrote:

I get the same error with the apple python as well as with the homebrew one. Any suggestions?
Thank you
