There may be some news on that front in the near future. Many thanks for the quick reply. I will try the MacPorts version, but I am quite Windows-based (I do the Mac installation for somebody else), so I am not sure how to install all the other packages that we use (NumPy, MatPlotLib, Pillow and maybe something else that I do not recall at this moment...). Last time (for the python.org version of Python) I needed to try out several approached from several sites to succeed finally... So I will impatiently expect the changes "on that front" and I will hope that they will come till August 2014. Peter Tomcsanyi
