Re: [pygame] Best instructions for a Pygame setup on OS-X?

[Rob Hagemans <robhagemans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike, 

On a Mountain Lion virtual machine, I've found it easiest to install both Python 2 and Pygame through Homebrew. Pygame doesn't seem to like the version of Python provided by the OS at all. 

MacPorts worked as well, I recall, and installs faster; but I needed PyInstaller and couldn't get it to work in that setup. I don't recall doing much fiddling, but it was a while ago.
