You could also try to build petsc4py independently, after building
core PETSc. Just download the tarball release, export PETSC_DIR=...
PETSC_ARCH=..., and then "python setup.py build". Note however that
you may still run into trouble in this OS X + EPD Python combination.
It's not my fault, the universal binaries thing in OS X plus the
custom way EPD builds Python is hard to deal with, specially as I do
not have any OS X box to do proper testing. If you cannot make it
work, feel free to contact me privately and be prepared to help me a
bit.
