Hi,
I don't see a way to install graph-tool using pip. Port on Mac OS X is not updated as frequently as pip. I'd recommend adding a way to install graph-tool using pip. Right now, I see the following error.
Neither pip nor easy_install are supported. Huge portions of graph-tool are implemented in C++ and thus require compilation. Although it is possible to use python's setuptools to compile packages in C/C++ as well (numpy and scipy do this), I find that autotools provides a much more comfortable and reliable approach, which is more likely to work in different environments. I feel that porting things to setuptools would be quite a pain.
For Mac, is it possible to make a dmg for installation? (I don't have any experience on making a dmg package). But this could help potential users who want avoid compiling the package themselves (the requirement on gcc 4.4 can be a deal breaker). -- Regards, Peng
