Of particular importance is the section on "custom installation
locations":

Before starting you probably want to edit the ~/.pydistutils.cfg file
to specify a different location for installing scripts (for example,
/usr/local/bin).  If you just want to install the packages for
yourself, then check out the Mac OS X "User" installation section.

Then download and run ez_setup.py, which bootstraps setuptools, and
run "easy_install IPython".  This will work with many simple packages,
and some complex ones too.
