You can do this quite simply with fink
I've generally stayed away form fink, as it felt like kind of a separate system within OS-X, rather than integrated -- kind of like cygwin.
In particular, if you use Fink Python, can you:
1) Write apps that use the native GUI (not X), in particular, PyObjC, wx-Mac, and TK-aqua.
2) Bundle up apps with Py2App, or otherwise create self contained application bundles?
3) Universal (PPC+Intel) anything.
Apart from "feel", I think those are the concrete reasons to use MacPython, rather than fink. Please correct me if I'm got a wrong (or outdated) impression.
Hi Chris - I think you are correct. The solution I posted is not a long term solution for the eventual average numpy/scipy user. It was just a response to Belinda's original need for "Advice on a painless way to install scipy on my G5 OS X 10.4.8 mac". I don't mind waiting for things to compile so it seems painless to me. Erin
