Did a google search for "eucatools mac" and look whose gist showed up.

One thing to note is that you need swig on your machine. With MacPorts installed, easy to add with:

$ sudo port install swig-python

yeah, or you can use brew. I use homebrew pretty much exclusively now, and don't even have ports installed on my Lion laptop anymore.

I used brew and the command is : brew install swig
also the above script didn't work for me because wget would create a big file name for the file it downloaded:
example:
Craigs-MacBook-Pro:~ Apigee$ wget http://open.eucalyptus.com/sites/all/modules/pubdlcnt/pubdlcnt.php?file=http://eucalyptussoftware.com/downloads/releases/euca2ools-1.3.1-src-deps.tar.gz

would download a file called
pubdlcnt.php?file=http:%2F%2Feucalyptussoftware.com%2Fdownloads%2Freleases%2Feuca2ools-1.3.1-src-deps.tar.gz

so I just ran all the steps manually, changing the file names as I went.
Another option is to modify the script and use the -O option of wget
something like this
wget -O euca2ools-${VERSION}-src-deps.tar.gz http://open.eucalyptus.com/sites/all/modules/pubdlcnt/pubdlcnt.php?file=http://eucalyptussoftware.com/downloads/releases/euca2ools-${VERSION}-src-deps.tar.gz

Thank you! This script helped a lot, but ended up changing two things:

  • To dodge problems with the PPC assembler being gone when making M2Crypto, I installed the iOS SDK and put the assembler back a la this SA hint
  • Instead of getting (the now aging) version 1.3.1, I got 2.0.2 from github

i've also had some success getting euca to work with virtualenv; but the bash #! headers need to be changed to use #!/usr/bin/env python over #!/usr/bin/python
