[pygame] ImportError: PyObjC

2010-03-08 Thread slinky66
Hi,

I installed pygame located here:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/pygame


But when I tried to test I got the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 37, in 
_check_darwin()
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 34, in _check_darwin
raise ImportError("PyObjC 1.2 or later is required to use pygame
on Mac OS X. http://pygame.org/wiki/PyObjC";)
ImportError: PyObjC 1.2 or later is required to use pygame on Mac OS
X. http://pygame.org/wiki/PyObjC

I installed package pyobjc-1.4-py2.5-macosx10.4.mpkg.zip but when I
try to import pygame, I get the same error.

Here is my Python info:

sh-3.2# python
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75821M, Oct 27 2009, 19:48:32)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Located in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/

Thanks for the help!

the py2.5 in the latter refers to python 2.5, where as you are running 
pygame with python 2.6. python major release installations are parallel, 
dont interfere with each other, so installing a lib for 2.5 doesn't 
usually affect 2.6.

[pygame] mix pygame with win32?

2010-03-08 Thread inhahe
I'm thinking of making a GUI for pygame (I know it's been done already), but
I don't want to unless I can render fonts with bold, italic, etc. in-lined
into the string, like, e.g., Qt's "RTF" strings.  It's not the same when you
render them separately and patch it together; the spacing isn't right.  I've
been told that not even the new beta pygame that uses freetype can do that.
 So I was thinking maybe I could (on Windows) call some win32 function to
render text, but I'd imagine I have to pass it a device context handle or
whatever for the surface to draw on, and I don't see a function in pygame to
return a device context handle.  So...Is there any way to do this?  Thanks.
