Great!

As far as I'm aware, no one has run OpenSlide Python on Mac OS X before,
and shared libraries use a different suffix on Macs.  Edit the file
openslide/lowlevel.py in the source tree, and change the line:

    _lib = cdll.LoadLibrary('libopenslide.so.0')

to:

    _lib = cdll.LoadLibrary('libopenslide.0.dylib')

Then rerun sudo python setup.py install.
