This repository has portability issues, see #46 - there's a work-around for Macs, but it hasn't been promoted to the repository yet

That last comment says it no longer works. All right, when do we expect this ticket closed?

[lydia-duncan]

I think he meant the script to install it in one command no longer works. The patch to allow it to build with the extensive steps probably is still fine.

As for when I expect this ticket to close: it'll depend on the result of my work. If we need to significantly rework the python interoperability approach, it'll likely be further out (and likely involve a new project). I'm still getting ramped up so I don't have a good estimate yet, sorry
