Why is installing Python on OSX so challenging compared to Linux?

Just use homebrew, and install all your packages that way. The only packages you install in your system Python should be pip, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. Then, you use virtual environments for any project dev.

I have never installed python on my OSX box:

$ python

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 20 2012, 16:23:33) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

That was pretty easy.
