Python problems installing ROS on OS X 10.9
As suggested by the helpful folk at the question "Building ROS on OSX 10.9 (solution)", ID 94771 (this forum won't let me post questions with links), I'm opening a new question to deal with the Python issues I'm facing.
Originally, I went through the ROS Hydro brew-based installation instructions. There were a number of issues with individual packages that were addressed in the answer to the question referenced above, but there's also an issue with using Brew's Python, the recommended solution to which is to use the system Python. I'm now trying to do that, but it's not clear to me how to restore the packages needed by Brew and ROS to make that work. The last issue was with upgrading sip (although it's not clear to me if this should be done through Brew or separately, as to keep with the system Python):

I never use Python, and apologize for having very little clue about its environment. Appreciate the help!
