[pygame] very slow pygame.init() under Snow Leopard

[John Jameson]

I have a new Macbook Pro running 10.6 Snow Leopard and when I run any pygame
code that calls pygame.init() it takes literally about 10 seconds to
complete the call. Other examples, like "Samegame" are quite elaborate but
don't call init() and start up immediately. Any thoughts anyone?  I
installed python 2.6 via Macports (64bit) with Pygame 1.9.
best,
John
