While my users are primarily on OSX, I do also need to be able to
provide Windows and Linux builds. It's a tricky business...

I downloaded the Enthought distribution and was able to run my program

I have to say I haven't encountered the "brew" program before, and
naturally the Internet would rather tell me about beer than
