Installing gevent on Mavericks (Enthought Canopy python)

Has anyone had any luck building gevent 1.0 in Mavericks?

I've tried the following:

  1. pip (as recommended on the gevent package index)
  2. easy_install
  3. compiling from source

I keep getting the same error when building 'gevent.core':

...

Compiling with an SDK that doesn't seem to exist: /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk

Seems to be a problem with XCode. I made sure I have the XCode (v. 5.0.2) command line tools installed with:

xcode-select --install

But that didn't seem to change anything. Apparently I'm not alone with this problem (a missing /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk), but I'd like to stick with Enthought's Canopy version of python if I can (and have already spent too much time combing the Apple Developer site to try download MacOSX10.6.sdk directly).

Any suggestions that don't involve starting over with a macport'ed python? Thanks!

For me the hint on gevent website helped:

pip install cython git+git://github.com/gevent/gevent.git#egg=gevent

IIUC, Apple pulled a fast one on the latest XCode, such that gcc is no longer actually gcc, but is symlinked to clang, which is not compatible with standard Pythons, including Canopy's.

It should work better if you install Xcode 3.2.1 Developer Tools from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
