See my lengthy answer to a similar question here. Bottom line, if you are familiar and comfortable with a package-managed environment like on Ubuntu, you may want to use a package manager like MacPorts or Fink or Homebrew on OS X. But there are subtle differences since, unlike Ubuntu, this is not the system-wide package manager so you have to be aware of and co-exist with things supplied by Apple in OS X or by having multiple Python installations.
