Description
The download/install experience for compass is broken.
I tried downloading the tarball for OSX. The directory contains a bare python script (with no standard .py extension. There is no README to tell me what to do with the install_compass file.
If I try to click on the file in the finder, most user will get the "install_compass can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." I can work around by changing my security settings for this one file. But then....
If I try to open it either from the finder or command line, I get this error from a launched term window:

If I try to run it from the command line: ./install_compass, I get this:
monkey101:bin$ ./install_compass
|
env: python2: No such file or directory
|
If I run it by explicitly using python I get a lot of output which is not going to mean much to the average user:
monkey101:bin$ python install_compass
