I love being able to use Christoph Gohlke's numpy-MKL
version of NumPy
linked to Intel's Math Kernel Library on Windows. However, I have been unable to find a similar version for OS X, preferably NumPy 1.7 linked for Python 3.3 on Mountain Lion. Does anyone know where this might be obtained?
EDIT:
So after a bit of hunting I found this link to evaluate Intel's Composer XE2013 studios for C++ and Fortran (both of which contain the MKL), as well as a tutorial on building NumPy and SciPy with it, so this will serve for the present. However, the question remains - is there a frequently-updated archive for OS X similar to Christoph Gohlke's? If not, why not? :)
Intel has release their MKL under a community license, which is free, with limited technical support. Currently MKL under the Community License is available for Linux and Windows, and it is expected they will provide a version for Mac OS X soon.

In one of their recent webinars, I asked for their plans for a Mac OS X MKL under the community license. They say it is coming soon.
Update 2:
Continuum provides Anaconda Python with Intel MKL included for all platforms.

Intel even makes it easy to compile and link against the MKL from the Anaconda Python distribution.

Update:
It now appears that Intel has their own version of Python that they are providing to beta testers.
