Snow Leopard users should first download and install an updated version from here, labeled ActiveTcl 8.4.19.5 under Mac OS X (Universal).ĭelete, if already installed, the Python 2.7 folder (most likely in /Applications). However, there is a warning/caution to be aware of: on Snow Leopard the Apple-provided version of Tcl/Tk (a GUI library which powers IDLE) can be out-of-date and cause problems. The 32-bit version of pygame is only compatible with a 32-bit version of python. There is no 64-bit version of pygame for Mac OS X.
Users of 64-bit processors should follow the instructions below.
Users of 32-bit processors should just download and install the binary labeled pygame-1.9.-32bit-py2.7-macosx10.3.dmg on the pygame download page. The instructions differ if you have a 32-bit proccessor or a 64-bit one.
