The platform can be easily detected by python and passed in if need be.
That way, no one has to build those binaries on OSX as there are no simple packages for Mac users.
I have tried setting the path env var to point to the binaries but I am not sure since you use subprocess to invoke it if those environment vars are properly picked up in the child process or not.

You have a point there. The only catch would be that additional libraries would be needed, but I should be able to test that.
