I think ipython is done already - there was a problem with readline,
but now ipython depends on gnureadline, and that fixed it.  IPython
has wheels, but they are not binary because it's a pure python
package.  On my machine in a clean virtualenv:

$ pip install ipython

Downloading/unpacking ipython

  Downloading ipython-2.0.0-py27-none-any.whl (2.8MB): 2.8MB downloaded

Downloading/unpacking gnureadline (from ipython)

  Downloading gnureadline-6.2.5-cp27-none-macosx_10_6_intel.whl
(245kB): 245kB downloaded

Installing collected packages: ipython, gnureadline

Successfully installed ipython gnureadline

Cleaning up...

scipy should be done when the imminent new release comes out.  Then I
guess pandas and so on.  So - not long now I think.

Do you know the Pillow team at all?  Maybe they'd accept help for
wheel building?
