what should change if I have the default python installed on macs?

Belated but...

@yassersouri You would then leverage the default include and lib directories (i.e. remove the "-D PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR" and "-D PYTHON_LIBRARY" options.)

If you're not using a virtualenv, then you can remove the other two PYTHON related options, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to so that! :)

Here's the command I run (with a virtualenv, but default Python headers libs):

cmake -D PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=$WORKON_HOME/opencv/bin/python \
-D PYTHON_PACKAGES_PATH=$WORKON_HOME/opencv/lib/python2.7/site-packages \
-D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
-D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON \
