Do we (matplotlib) want to deal with issues installing python.org python? I think we should direct these issues to who ever maintains those binaries.

@efiring Can you take care of merging this if you are happy with it? I am not qualified to evaluate if the mac install directions make sense. |

typo: "Once" -> "One" or "A"
Reading through the changeset, it looks fine--a big improvement, much needed. I don't have the direct experience to verify everything, but it looks right. I think there was already some discussion of the part where the advice upon compilation error was to report the error first, then try installing or updating XCode; I would put it the other way around, but I won't argue. |

re-basing would be cleaner, merging + cherry pick is faster |
Katy's recent edits were a big improvement, but the faq install instructions for OSX had also got horribly out of date. The main thing that has changed is that wheels are now the default binary installation format, and, even if we are going to provide eggs, no-one should be using easy_install now.
Also - point to 'getting help' section in troubleshooting.
Remove debugging pip for Python.org Python. De-escalate problem heading.
Thanks to Eric F for pointing it out.
Fix typo pointed out by Eric F; add link to wiki page on system Python and Extras/lib.
OSX version in dmg name in fact refers to Python.org Python compatibility - but not the version of OSX it was 'built for'.
I just did a rebase against current v1.4.x - is that what you meant? |
From suggestion of Eric F.
Eric - tend to agree about xcode, help order - I pushed a change - OK? |
I pushed the changes directly to v1.4.x and merged v1.4.x into master. |
@tacaswell, I hope the way I did that was right, or close enough. I was trying to avoid having to make a new PR against v1.4.x by achieving the same result manually. |
