Re: [pygame] Re: Installing pygame on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I think all of those are in MacPorts apart from PySDL.

Well, it looks like it's in...
https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/python/py-SDL2/Portfile

I can't check as I'm not at a Mac just now.

The thing to check with MacPorts is that you're building with the
right variants, e.g. to use the same version of gcc, to provide the
right language bindings, etc. A lot of the time it just works, to be
fair.
