Installation on Mac OS X

[Andrew Packer]

Thank you Benjamin.

"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."


There being a file openslide/lowlevel.py in each of 
~/Downloads/openslide-python-0.3.0/openslide/ and 
~/Downloads/openslide-python-0.3.0/build/lib/ of course I started by 
editing the wrong file - so now I have a better inkling of what 
constitutes the source tree here.

Anyhow, I can report success; opened an .svs file and had a good look at 
it via my browser.  Thanks again.
