Paul,
Have you tried using virtualenv with Python 2.7? I'm in the same situation and
I find using a virtual environment for different configuration schemes allows
me to have the up-to-date Python modules without the Mac's "semi-legacy" Python
version. It's fairly simple to set up - if you're interested I can discuss the
details with you.
Cheers,
Dave

transcended parameters.
So much is unknown.
