Hi,
Hi, Elliot! Read on for information about how I got python+pyame
working
on my Macs.
I have OS X 10.4.5
I have tried and failed to get pygame working. I've tried running the
installers but nothing noticeable changes. I found pygame in the
include folder in python somewhere but when i try to import it, it
isn't there. There may be multiple versions of python on my system,
and if so I don't know where they are. I just type "python" in my
terminal (or pythonw IIRC). this is a mac; there shouldn't be
installers at all, just disk images with icons to drag to my
harddrive :-)
I have had all the best luck using Bob Ipolito's "Framework" build of
python 2.4.1 which you can get from here:
http://undefined.org/python/
In particular, you want both of the following:
http://undefined.org/python/MacPython-OSX-2.4.1-1.dmg
http://pythonmac.org/packages/TigerPython24Fix-r2.zip
Install them, and then to verify that it worked, go to the console and
run python. You should see the python version number, something like
this:
darkside:~ james$ python
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
If that is NOT what you see, contact me (or this list) again, and I
(or
someone) will help you find out why the wrong version of python is
being
run. The fact that you have apparently already attempted installing a
couple different versions of python may confuse this step a bit.
