I think that the latest code is here: https://github.com/certik/sympyx unless somebody did some more work on it. I think so, it should be integrated into sympy.

There are several options for that, I think virtualenv is one of them. I personally use my own project for it: http://qsnake.com/ it's similar to Sage (uses some packages from Sage), but I rebuilt the build system. It installs everything into a local directory and you can have as many qsnake installations as you want. I then develop using qsnake --shell and then I can call any installed package. At my work, I don't even have a root access to my computer, so qsnake (or something similar) is the only option. I didn't test this on a Mac for a long time, so probably more work would be needed, I only have time to test on Ubuntu though.
