Python and IPython for Macintosh System Administration

Before we start

Install 'Anaconda' from http://continuum.io/downloads

This installs python and IPython onto your Mac without admin access.

Install 'Text Wrangler` and it's CLI

Grab it from http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ and put it in ~/Applications.

Then :

mkdir ~/bin
cp ~/Applications/TextWrangler.app/Contents/Helpers/edit ~/bin

Then you need to add the followng to `.bash_profile.

export PATH="/Users/xworld/bin:$PATH"
export EDITOR="edit -w"

You can do this with bin/edit -w .bash_profile at the command line.
