Mac OSX Notes

I feel compelled to make a note about OSX as I’ve decided to only support Python 3.4+ for this tool. In my experience, using Python 3 as installed by Homebrew and setuptools as installed by pip, a usable PATH is not provided and/or symlinking behavior for python3 setuptools scripts is not handled.

To work around this I’m simply adding the ‘bin’ directory used for the Python 3 framework to my PATH variable, a la..

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.2_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin

I welcome someone explaining to me a better solution.
