so, there is no nifti for this version/flavor of python you are using by
default ;)

I bet it is exactly what I feared:

 P.S. Common problem on OSX is the hell of mixes of different pythons
 and corresponding modules installed via variety of methods (local,
 macports, etc) since there is no uniform one "out of the box"
 installation mechanism, i.e. like on Debian ;-)  thus for the best
 experience we just advice users to use
 http://neuro.debian.net/vm.html.

get sources and follow each package installation instructions, which
most of the time something like

python setup.py install


or once again -- forget about all this mess and use virtual machine with
Debian and enjoy the paradise ;-)
