appropriate for pygame. This I found out from a post in their page.
This kind of thing (which I've also seen with Anaconda's Qt libraries under Linux) is why I tend to avoid it, though I know quite a few people are happy with it, and it's nice to have something consistent across platforms with pre-built binaries, which I think is a USP for Anaconda. On OS X/Linux it also avoids installations into /usr/local (or worse /usr) and doesn't require sudo, which is good for centrally managed systems.
