Cannot Install Lxml 3.3.3 On OSX 10.9 With Buildout

Ok, so coming back to this with fresh eyes, again, managed to resolve it.

The error clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' during the pip install lxml above was the clincher. I'd spotted it and https://stackoverflow.com/a/22578811/1399659, but couldn't get another python version to work. Had tried MacPorts and Homebrew.

Finally a tip from https://stackoverflow.com/a/17439319/1399659 led me to removing macport's lxml and the system-installed pip. Then installing HomeBrew's python over fresh (with occasional forced linking), let me use it's installed pip to run bog-standard pip install lxml

Now running Homebrew's python 2.7.6 and pip, which was used to install lxml 3.3.3
