Re: [pygame] pygame/__init__.py error on Mac OS X 10.4

[Todd Mortimer <rtm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob,

I am trying to install from source here using Darwinports, but I took  
a look at the package pygame-1.7.0-py2.4-macosx10.3.zip  from  
pythonmac.org (there doesn't appear to be a 10.4 package yet), and I  
believe it has the same problem.

From the pythonmac package, the file macosx.py in the  
pygame_platlib_1.7.0.pkg package contains similar lines:

"""
    # about  line 140
    # running inside a bundle, change dir
    if (os.getcwd() == '/') and len(sys.argv) > 1:
        os.chdir(os.path.basedir(sys.argv[0]))  # basedir method  
does not exist in os.path module
"""

Is the call to os.path.basedir() supposed to be there?

Thanks for you help,
Todd
