Installing pygame on OS X

-----------------------------------

When I start python from the CLI, it says it is python 2.6.1, however, when I try to install pygame 1.9.1 there is a yellow warning icon on the harddrive, and it says "System Python 2.6" is required to install.
I have not updated python or installed any extra modules for it (this would be the first), this is just what came with snow leopard.

Anyone know what's wrong with it?

You might have a different version of Python available as well (Leopard comes with 2.5.1; don't know if your system was an upgrade or a fresh install), and through some weird PATH configuration pygame might be finding the older install.

This is just a guess though.

That looks like it might be the case, pythontab? That's awesome!

I had this problem too. It seems that pygame will not install with the default Mac Python installation. You must install Python yourself from Edit: Wrong URL was fixed
