Just to balance this otherwise scary list, I'll report that I have had
success with MacPorts on Mavericks for several months now, with default
configs and not much more than "port install py27-scipy" to kick it off,
fwiw. MacPorts has a gcc package too.

I use ipython notebooks regularly and haven't encountered problems. But I
can't speak about any of the other libraries you mentioned.
