You need two things: - Xcode (available in the Mac App Store) - this will give you the tools needed to build software from source - Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) - this is similar to fink or MacPorts, but IMHO much better
Then do something like: > sudo easy_install pip > sudo pip install virtualenv > virtualenv /path/to/project/env > /path/to/project/env/bin/activate > pip install pyodbc mysqldb psycopg2 And possibly: > brew install mysql postgresql All done!
