Looks like python27 and py27-pyqt4 aren't in the Homebrew index. Should users instead be prompted to download MacPorts?

curl -O http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/MacPorts-1.5.0/MacPorts-1.5.0-10.4.dmg
hdiutil attach MacPorts-1.5.0-10.4.dmg
sudo installer -verbose -pkg /Volumes/MacPorts-1.5.0/MacPorts-1.5.0.pkg -target /
#Add /opt/local/bin (and probably /opt/local/sbin) to your path in whatever way your shell requires
#Update MacPorts to the latest version
sudo port -v selfupdate
#Unmount the disk image
hdiutil detach -verbose /dev/disk4

The wiki lists the dependencies for both homebrew and MacPorts:

It would probably be nice if INSTALL had the same instructions.

Homebrew's packages for python27 and py27-pyqt4 are python and pyqt respectively as they are the stable versions. There are also named packages for python24, python25, python26, python3 (3.3), python31, and python32, and there is also a pyqt5 package for future reference.

And as for the py2app script, it can use pip instead of easy_install since that's the recommended program to use with Homebrew.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if we're going to change the main installaiton instructions, could we actually test the changes instead of guessing about whether brew's openssl is a requirement or dependency?

That's true. It appears to work just fine with the OS X version of OpenSSL, but if this project requires a 1.0+ version of OpenSSL, then it would need to be made into a homebrew script to include the proper version of OpenSSL.

Agreed. I'm using default openssl and it seems to work fine, although I have no way of knowing if any errors are being generated in the output.
