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

["René Dudfield" <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe we could release a couple of different versions.

That seems to be the easiest way forward.  But it'd be nicer for users
if there were less files to have to choose from to download.

As far as I know pyobc 2.x doesn't work on 10.x,  So we'd have to
include both pyobc 2.x and 1.4.x for the python from python.org.

I'll see how easy it will be to include both pyobjc 1.4x and 2.x...
