cant install on os x 10.11

easy install pip worked. but when trying to install ansible, this happens. it looks like a connection error. maybe intermittent failure?

$ sudo pip install ansible

Based on that error it looks like pip is failing to locate dependencies while communicating with pypi with an un caught exception.

This isn't really Ansible related.  You might want to try upgrading pip and try installing Ansible again.

sudo pip install -U pip

sudo pip install -U ansible

I believe recommended way is to use homebrew.

[Matt Martz]

Homebrew is *not* the recommended way to install Ansible.  The recommended way to install Ansible on Mac OS, is via pip.

We specifically removed those installation instructions, as homebrew causes other issues that are much more complicated to resolve.

I ended up using homebrew to install a working python, and then was able to use pip to install ansible. So, homebrew did end up part of the solution.

Ill switch back to system python when apple fixes it.
