[pygame] installing Pygame for Mac OS X standard Python

[Joe Strout <joe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to get started with pygame on my stock OS X 10.5 system.  I  
don't want to install a different version of Python, as this laptop is  
also used for work, where we are supposed to all be using the standard  
Python (2.5.1) that comes preinstalled with the machine.

But the Mac binary installer at <http://www.pygame.org/ 
download.shtml>, as advertised, refuses to install in this  
environment, claiming it needs "System Python" (by which I think it  
means a custom Python installation rather than the standard one).

Should I follow the compile instructions at <http://pygame.org/wiki/MacCompile 
> to get a pygame that works with my system?  And, if we're making  
Mac binaries available, why not make them work with the Python  
distribution that every Mac user already has?  Just trying to  
understand what's going on here.

Thanks,
- Joe
