It doesn't seem to want to install on the leopard 2.5.1 python - I get the error: "You cannot install pygame 1.8.0rc3 on this volume. pygame requires System Python 2.5 to install."
I expect there is probably a way to make the installer accept either 2.5.1 python, I think the pyglet people may have had to deal with that (having the installer accept both the leopard python and a user installed 2.5.1) before? Another approach would be building the pygame installer with the OS python on Leopard - I haven't tried that yet. --- also, I decided to try installing 2.5.1 from python.org, and it installs fine into that one, however a simple test raises an exception "ImportError: PyObjC 1.2 or later is required to use pygame on Mac OS X" on import pygame. Others have said on the list that PyObjC 1.2 won't work on Leopard, but I think PyObjC 2.0 can be built/installed from source here: http://svn.red-bean.com/pyobjc/trunk. So it seems manageable to run on a user installed 2.5.1 on leopard, but would need more work to be streamlined. So what would other Leopard users want from a pygame install? I think I'd personally like to use the Leopard python for simplicity in that it's a fixed target, but I imagine some people would perfer not to mess with OS components?
