Re: [pygame] Problems with MAC OS X

You need to open the window soon after calling init, or else Mac OS X
gives up trying to make a WindowServer conection. Not really a pygame
problem specifically.

Hello,

 I'm newbie with Pygame and Python, I paste information of my system

Mac OS X 10.4.8.
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Apr  7 2006, 10:54:33)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin
Pygame 1.8 for Python 2.4

I try to use pyGame and I obtain the next message:

>>> import pygame
>>> pygame.init()
CPSSetProcessName (1001, (0, 11534337))
(6, 0)
>>> pygame.display.set_mode((800,600))
CPSSetProcessName (1001, (0, 11534337))

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in -toplevel-

  File

And a new windows apears in my desktop, but the mouse its a colur gear, but
I can move the window, but I can't close it with mouse.

If I try it from terminal execute the script I obtain the same result, but
without error.

someone can help me? Why I obtain this results?

Maybe i forgot to install some module?

Sorry but my english is poor :(

Thanks in advance,
