Installation
Download a python distribution which include wxPython
At the time for this post, (Dec 2013), the installation of wxPython2.9-osx-cocoa-py2.7 made hickups and crashes.
This is reported here and here.
The problem is based on the wxPython version and 32/64 bit issues.
It is therefore strongly recommended to install the 32 bit python package distribution.
If one installs the "epd" enthought python distribution, this will include a working wxPython.
SIgn-up with preferably a university email to get the Academic License, and you can then download for free
https://www.enthought.com/repo/epd/installers/
Specifically download and install:
epd-7.x-x-macosx-i386.dmg
Special note about 64-bit Mac OSX
The macosx-x86_64 installer does not include wxPython, which a lot of ETS relies on. Even though ETS supports the use of PySide as a backend, things are much less stable under Qt. Therefore, if you want to use ETS, we recommned using the 32-bit EPD on Mac OSX.
Testing the Python installation
After installation, restart your terminal, and check path to python.
$ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python
Before installing relax, it is best to be sure that the Python modules are functional by trying to import them and print the version of them:
$ python
Enthought Python Distribution -- www.enthought.com
Version: 7.3-2 (32-bit)
Python 2.7.3 |EPD 7.3-2 (32-bit)| (default, Apr 12 2012, 11:28:34)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "credits", "demo" or "enthought" for more information.

Install brew as 'linux' package manager
You can read about brew here.
In short, it is like a package manager for mac, where you will be able to get linux programs to mac.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"
