According to the setup.py file, only Windows and Linux are supported.
On the other hand, I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work on
Mac OS X. You'll just need to download the source tarball and compile
it yourself. Here's a setup.py script that will at least build on Mac
OS X, although I haven't actually run it. There are 3 differences
between this setup.py script and the one included in the source
tarball.
1) using numpy.distutils instead of setuptools (because otherwise, it
won't build on any platform)
2) treating Darwin the same as Linux
3) I added a library_dirs and includes_dirs arguments to the
Extension for Matlab stuff, because Matlab doesn't dump it's libraries
into any of the standard paths in Mac OS X. Note that I'm using the
64-bit Matlab 2010b. If your version is different, chance the file
path accordingly.
