[ros-users] ROS Electric Support for OS X Lion

Mon Aug 15 19:37:18 UTC 2011

Yeah, so I am actually back to the built-in python on my setup, because of
wxPython, but that means we will have to source install a few of the python
libraries, off the top of my head sip and pycairo don't work with pip
because they don't follow the `python setup.py install` method.  We'll see
how it goes, I will try to get the latest revision up on github soon, but I
have some other work to do today.

Thanks,
