python - Best way to install pygame on OS X Lion?

Question

I tried to install pygame via pip but this fails. Based on my google searches, it sounds like easy_install also fails.

I also checked out: http://www.pygame.org/wiki/MacLionCompile but the solution is incomplete.

I'm running python 2.7.1 bundled with Lion.

Suggestions? Appreciate the help.

Answer 1

You could try the binary package for Lion, available on the pygame website.

It worked for me (OSX 10.7.1 with bundled Python 2.7.1)
