[Chicago] MacBook Pro

[swg]

I was able to sympathize a bit on this particular issue, just because of 
all the problems I've ran into whenever I try to do Python work on OS X.

I'm guessing folks here don't have this problem (since everyone is a 
python hacker and there seem to be a fair number of Apple Notebooks at 
meetings), but most folks I know (including myself) have a real hard 
time getting extra modules and anything that's not OOTB installed and 
working on OS X. 

It's almost easier sometimes to just install an OS that has a package 
manager or better python distributions and double clickable's.
