Re: [pygame] help: how to make a mac osx installer?

["Brian Fisher" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It doesn't seem to want to install on the leopard 2.5.1 python - I get
the error:
"You cannot install pygame 1.8.0rc3 on this volume. pygame requires
System Python 2.5 to install."

I expect there is probably a way to make the installer accept either
2.5.1 python, I think the pyglet people may have had to deal with that
(having the installer accept both the leopard python and a user
installed 2.5.1) before?

Another approach would be building the pygame installer with the OS
python on Leopard - I haven't tried that yet.

---

also, I decided to try installing 2.5.1 from python.org, and it
installs fine into that one, however a simple test raises an exception
"ImportError: PyObjC 1.2 or later is required to use pygame on Mac OS
X" on import pygame. Others have said on the list that PyObjC 1.2
won't work on Leopard, but I think PyObjC 2.0 can be built/installed
from source here: http://svn.red-bean.com/pyobjc/trunk. So it seems
manageable to run on a user installed 2.5.1 on leopard, but would need
more work to be streamlined.

So what would other Leopard users want from a pygame install? I think
I'd personally like to use the Leopard python for simplicity in that
it's a fixed target, but I imagine some people would perfer not to
mess with OS components?
