Unable to install Fabric on OSX using recommended Homebrew and pip. Xcode is latest version

I've been trying for two days to figure this out now. I have the latest version of OSX and Homebrew. I followed a tutorial that had me install pip via Homebrew and then it was recommended to install Fabric from Homebrew with:

brew install Fabric

But the formula for Fabric is gone from Homebrew. Yes, I ran an update too. So I followed yet another tutorial that advised me to install via pip. pip install fabric

And it fails in all kinds of ways involving pycrypto. Here's the pip log. Aren't Macs supposed to make life easier? 

status = self.run(options, args)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-1.4-py2.7.egg/pip/commands/install.py", line 241, in run

So it was:

pip install fabric

It wasn't working for me previously because I was on Mac OSX and no one ever told me I had to have Command Line Tools installed to actually do anything useful with the Mac (this really should be better emphasized as it's taken me until December to finally install Fabric due to compliation errors until I installed those tools).
