Installing Pygame for Mac OS X 10.6.8

Question

Using Python 2.7.2. When I try to import pygame I get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"\", line 1, in 

        

Answer 1

I was having the same problem. I had Python 2.7.2, the installation version for OSX 10.6. Here is what I did to fix it:

1) Deleted my current installation of Python, both from the applications folder and from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework (I just deleted 2.7.2, left 3.2 alone)

2) Reinstalled Python 2.7.2, the installation version for OSX 10.3 (my pygame installation file was labeled for OSX 10.3, which prompted me in this direction)

3) Reinstalled pygame

Now pygame imports without throwing an error.
