The documentation mentions that "OSX install has become a challenge. With the Enthought transition to Canopy we cannot figure out clean install directions for 3rd party packages and therefore can no longer recommend using EPD for SpacePy." They have other directions including some using MacPorts.

Installation directions for Linux and Windows seem straight-forward.




Enthought going to Canopy as some weird hybrid of a distribution, and IDE and a package manager may have something to do with it.

I'm had many fewer issues with Anaconda, and have found that OS X behaves just as well as Scientific Linux or Mint for stuff like this.


This is a familiar story for this type of software. It has consistently been my experience that installation on OSX is likely to be a headache, whereas on linux it's effortless. Never tried Windows.
