[Twisted-Python] Python 2.6 with twisted on OSX

[Eric Dennison]

Thank you all! Now I feel foolish because it was so easy.

I'm used to the Ubuntu way of installing things so I didn't know I could
just do all of this by installing easy_install and using that to install
twisted (and whatever else strikes my fancy). It works like a charm :)
