As someone brand new to Ansible, and having been developing on OSX for years now, I'd just like to play devil's advocate.

Finding the Ansible docs (http://docs.ansible.com/) was not as easy as it could be, however, the install instructions were easily accessible from there, exactly where I'd expect them: Introduction > Installation > Latest Releases via Homebrew.

Second, yeah, pip sucks, I try to avoid it at all costs. However, homebrew (http://brew.sh/) is that one thing that all OSX power users should install as soon as they touch their workstation. 90% of the software - CLI or GUI - on my MacBook is installed and managed by homebrew. I cannot recommend it highly enough. In fact, I didn't even install Ansible through their instructions. I read about it somewhere else, and thought, "Hmmm, I wonder if this is in homebrew? `brew search ansible` Oh! Sweet! `brew install ansible`" Worked perfectly the first time, and I haven't fiddled with it since.
