[IPython-dev] Trouble installing latest IPython 2.0 on Mac

[MinRK]

This is a problem in both Anaconda and readline because of Anaconda's
unfortunate choice of 10.5 as the target SDK, which then readline doesn't
properly handle because the system is not actually 10.5, and it fails to
build. I actually have fixes <https://github.com/conda/conda-build/pull/42>
out <https://github.com/ludwigschwardt/python-readline/pull/31> to both,
respectively, which will hopefully resolve before we release IPython 2.0.
If they don't, I'll revert the annoying checking we have for readline on OS
X so that it will install on Anaconda.

In the meantime, you can install IPython with

    pip install --no-deps

which will ignore the dependencies, and/or use the `setup.py symlink`,
which is nicer than `pip install -e` or `setup.py develop`, and doesn't use
setuptools, so it will not install dependencies.
