XCode includes the gcc and g++ compilers and architecture specific assemblers. Your version of XCode will determine which compilers and assemblers are available. The most common issue I encountered with scientific python libraries is compilation errors of underlying C code. Most scientific libraries are optimized with C routines, so this is a major hurdle. In my environment (XCode 4.0.2 with iOS components installed) I ran into problems with -arch flags asking for power pc (-arch ppc passed to the compiler).

With brew you can install with just: ```brew install gfortran``` - umfpack - you need this to build scipy. ```brew install umfpack``` +- swig - you need this to build scipy. ```brew install swig``` - hdf5 - you need this to build tables. ```brew install hdf5``` - zeromq - you need this to run qbt. ```brew install zmq```
