Mac vs. Linux for Python Development

[twiz]

Hello,

I'm sure this is a common question but I can't seem to find a previous thread 
that addresses it.   If one one exists, please point me to it.

I've been developing with python recreationally for a while on Ubuntu but will 
soon be transitioning to full-time python development.  I have the option of 
using a Mac or Ubuntu environment and I'd like to hear any thoughts on the pros 
and cons of each. Specifically, how's the support for numpy and scipy?  How are 
the IDEs?

Since I generally like working with a Mac, I'd like to hear if there are any 
significant downsides to python dev on OsX.  

Thanks

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply.  

Yes,  I agree. The main consideration is always the development experience.  
However, I do know that python has had some problems with other OSs 
(notoriously windows) and I want to avoid unnecessary compatibility issues. 

Can you elaborate on some of the problems running python on OSX (or point me to 
a relavant link)?

Thanks

Tommer
