Samuel's Python3 setup for Mac:

This document describes in which way, what packages, and from where are installed on my Macs to get a decent Python 3.x, scipy/numpy & Co setup.

Note, I switched to Python's 3.x pyvenv from virtualenv in order to handle my pip-installable packages. Also thanks to Anaconda, the whole setup is so simple now that I use this document just to remember which additional packages I like.
