pygame.py is not in python module directories

[xl64100@…]

Hello,

when I installed pygame I had no problem but the pygame module wasn't found by my pythons scripts. I had to had the following symbolic link to make it work :

ln -fs System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pygame.py /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages

py-game, py25-game, or py26-game? I'm guessing py25-game since you mention 2.5, but note that all the python modules should not be installing into either /System/Library/... or /Library/Python/... but /opt/local/Library/...

Because of that, you need to make sure you are using MacPorts' python in /opt/local/bin/python and not the system one in /usr/bin/python.

The one I installed was py-game, sorry for forgetting that, I was effectively using wriong /usr/bin/python but with /opt/local/bin/python2.5 (if I remove the link) I still get the same module missing error.

py-game is for python24 (/opt/local/bin/python2.4 will use it), py25-game is for python25.

as it was installed in this directory I thought it was for 2.5 : /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pygame.py but yes it works with python2.4, I will install it for 2.5 now, thanks

Is /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/ installed by macports ? Isn't that provided by OS X ?

I also have /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pygame.py, but as expected :

% port provides /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pygame.py
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pygame.py is not provided by a MacPorts port.
