I've been trying on and off for the past 6 months to get OpenCV to work with Python on MacOS. Every time there's a new release, I try again and fail. I've tried both 64-bit and 32-bit, and both the xcode gcc and gcc installed via macports.

I just spend the past two days on it, hopeful that the latest OpenCV release, that appears to include Python support directly would work. It doesn't.

I've also tried and failed to use this: http://code.google.com/p/pyopencv/

I've been using OpenCV with C++ or Microsoft C++/CLI for the past few years, but I'd love to use it with Python on a Mac because that is my primary development environment.

I'd love to hear from anyone who's actually done this.
