Well, I only got it all the work ( on OS X ) like an hour or two ago, and am currently happily learning&exploring.

I wanted to venture beyond Matlab because for what I am currently doing the environment and language is to limited, yet I do not wish to prototype in C++. Python together with some libraries seemed to be a deal in heaven. I also thought it would function as a better stepping stone towards an actual application.




Installation of the PIL pre-built packages on OSX is notoriously difficult, since it relies on system c libraries to do some processing.

Moving your development to a linux machine will clear up all of those issues.

Also 'easy_install' should get you all of the packages you want.
