To William Jennings.

I would suggest you look at the SAGE python package (http://www.sagemath.org/). 
Like Enthought it's an all-in-one package.  My package uses Python 2.6.4.  
Current versions may be higher.  It has a LOT of stuff, but you don't need to 
use it all and can ignore it (lots on symbolic math, but if you don't need it 
just ignore it).  It contains matplotlib, numpy, scipy and lots of other 
scientific packages.  Lots of other stuff too, like IPython, ctypes, Cython, 
and a SAGE notebook (looks good, but I haven't messed much with it).  Too much 
to list.  IIRC it does not include wxPython, though.  If you need that, you 
should check.  I think you can install it (see below)

Cost?  It's free.  

I've compiled several versions of it on my Macs with no hitch, but I think you 
can just download Mac binary packages in a .zip file, decompress them, and put 
them in the Applications folder and you're ready to go. You can set up the sage 
env variable and point to the python in the SAGE application instead of the Mac 
one.  You can install more in the SAGe package if you want.  Just point to sage 
python instead of python in the install scripts.  

I've been using it for 1 1/2 years and have been very happy with it.  It's a 
tour de force package of packages.  Beats manual installs for my needs any day.
