I had never heard of EPD before your mail... but I spent some time reading their website, and I am a little bit suspicious of their license. IANAL, but their licencing terms look like they might possibly violate some of the licenses of the packages they are bundling inside EPD. I could be wrong about this, I'm just saying that it smelled a tiny bit fishy to me... Is there any special reason why you have to use EPD instead of some other version of Python? This page of their FAQ http://www.enthought.com/products/epdfaq.php#installlocation says that on Mac, EPD installs python into /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/<version> That leads me to believe that EPD's python is just an ordinary Python framework install. Don't the regular Mac install packages on pygame.org work with that? --- James Paige
