Re: [pygame] Pygame on OS X 10.4 Tiger

[thor <thorthor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob, list

Don't do that.

1. Install Python 2.4.1 and TigerPython24Fix from http://undefined.org/python/

2. Install the Python 2.4 versions of PyObjC, Numeric, PIL, PyOpenGL, pygame from http://pythonmac.org/packages/

If you need newer versions of any of the components, you can compile them from source.. but compiling PyOpenGL is non-trivial, and PIL and SDL have some dependencies.

This is fantastic!

I wish I had been there 3 hours ago. 

Perhaps the people running the Pygame website should include those two lines

from Bob under the "Pygame for os X" to save others hours of work?

I've installed all perfectly and it's all running nicely but hey:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "aliens.py", line 6, in ?

    import pygame

ImportError: No module named pygame

thm-mac-pb:~/Desktop/pygame-1.7.1release/examples thm21$

or from the Terminal:

Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20)

[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import pygame

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

ImportError: No module named pygame

>>>

I thought I just had installed Python 2.4.1???? It says 2.3.5 here above. I wonder why?

thanks for all help
