you can also install qgis from the osgeo homebrew repositories which uses homebrews python brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac brew install osgeo-qgis be aware that the installation takes a long time (> 2 hours on my laptop) to install and uses plenty of packages -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/QGIS-Developer-f4099106.html
