Re: [pygame] Re: wxPython and pygame on the latest Mac



Thanks Mark,  This finally worked for me on my Mac too!   It's always worked great on my Ubuntu Dell, but never for the silly white laptop.

Cheers,

I got it working by installing python 2.6 from here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/

As its noted pygame doesn't work with the stock 2.6.

Anyone have wxPython and pygame running on the latest version of the Mac?

Stock 2.6.1 python in 32 bit mode:
- defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes
- installed and can use wxPython
- pygame didn't work after installing: pygame-1.9.1release-py2.6-macosx10.5.zip
#      from pygame.base import *
#      ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pygame/base.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
# /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pygame/base.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

Stock 2.6.1 python in 64 bit mode:
- No wxPython build, and build from source failed.
- didn't try the 64bit pygame build

Installed 2.7:
- wxPython has a 64bit 2.7 build.
- pygame doesn't have a 2.7 build on the Mac?  Can I build pygame myself with 2.7??
