Re: [pygame] OS X install problems

That's not the same version of Python. You forgot to include the version string, but I guarantee it's different. Probably the Python 2.3.0 that comes with OS X 10.3.

Python 2.4 should install a pythonw script too, to /usr/local/bin/, but maybe it's not on your PATH. Or perhaps you didn't build Python 2.4 with --enable-framework? If so, you might not be able to use pygame except from bundled applications (via py2app or bundlebuilder) -- a normal build of Python 2.4 will not have the "faked" application bundle used by pythonw.

Something is weird here..

Hi all,

I have problems running pygame in os x. I have run setup.py without
errors, but when I try to import pygame I get the following error:

How do I resolve this issue? 

Use pythonw to start Python, like it says.
