The Enthought suggestion is a good one. Another possibility is to install the python 2.7 from the http://python.org/download Mac installer (the one for Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7), then the corresponding numpy installer (see scipy.org; the download would be from http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.1/ and you want the one near the bottom, ending in "macosx10.6.dmg"), and last the recently added mpl Mac installer for python 2.7, the first file you see here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.1.0/ I haven't tried it--I don't have a mac--but I'm pretty sure the above set should all work together.
