Re: [pygame] Pygame and Enthought



Brian et al,

I downloaded:

pygame-1.9.1release-py2.6-macosx10.5.zip

Then ran the installer. At the Destination Select window, the installer gave this error:  "pygame 1.9.1release can't be installed on this disk. pygame requires System Python 2.6 to install."

The prebuilt binaries for the Mac don't work as they look for the python2.6 that comes with the mac. I'm not using that version, so the binaries don't install.

David, what makes you think that the prebuilts use the system python that comes with the mac?

The reason I ask, is that the claim is untrue - their are no prebuilts provided that use the system python, all the prebuilts provided use the framework builds of python, like what you get from python.org.

Have you actually tried the prebuilts, or are you just assuming the system python thing?

As James said, the prebuilts on pygame.org should work for you, if enthought python installs into /Library/Frameworks - so what version of python does enthought use? if it's 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6, there's a package for you to try here:
