Under OS X, at least, I think there are valid reasons to not want to use
the system-supplied Python.  On my up-to-date OS X 10.9.2 machine, I see
Python 2.7.5, NumPy 1.6.2, Matplotlib 1.1.1 and Twisted 12.2.0.  For at
least Matplotlib and NumPy, those versions are pretty old (mid 2012), and
I'd be wary of updating them on the *system* Python: I have no idea what I
might or might not break.
