As a random follow up to this old thread, I build ledger from the git repo, but use homebrew to maintain python and boost. As a long term reminder to myself and perhaps of help to other mac users, to get ledger to run w/ python: (a) check that /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin in PATH (b) brew install python (c) brew install boost --with-mpi --with-icu (d) mkdir build; ./acprep -j 2 --python --enable-doxygen --enable-cache opt make following those steps, it appears as though python support works: $ ./build/ledger/opt/ledger python ./python/demo.py Welcome to the Ledger.Python demo!
