Installation
/usr/local/Cellar% brew install python --framework
==> Downloading http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tar.bz2
File already downloaded in /Users/rupert/Library/Caches/Homebrew
==> Patching
patching file Lib/whichdb.py
Hunk #1 succeeded at 91 with fuzz 1.
==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2 --enable-framework=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/Frameworks
==> make
==> make install
==> Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.24.tar.gz
File already downloaded in /Users/rupert/Library/Caches/Homebrew
==> /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/bin/python setup.py install
==> Caveats
A "distutils.cfg" has been written to:
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils
specifing the install-scripts folder as:
/usr/local/share/python
If you install Python packages via "python setup.py install", easy_install, pip,
any provided scripts will go into the install-scripts folder above, so you may
want to add it to your PATH.
Distribute has been installed, so easy_install is available.
To update distribute itself outside of Homebrew:
/usr/local/share/python/easy_install pip
/usr/local/share/python/pip install --upgrade distribute
See: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Homebrew-and-Python
Framework Python was installed to:
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/Frameworks/Python.framework
You may want to symlink this Framework to a standard OS X location,
such as:
mkdir ~/Frameworks
ln -s "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/Frameworks/Python.framework" ~/Frameworks

Site-Packages. Where?
Note that site-packages will be installed in
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
