Hi, eek.
Maybe that install does not have a 32bit architecture or 64bit architecture in there. To tell what architectures are compile in... In a Terminal, are you able to run this command for me? lipo /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/base.so I also wonder what your processor is. Got to top left of screen... -> 'About this mac', then copy the processor line. Something like "*Processor* 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo". regards, On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 11:20 PM, Zack Baker <zbaker1...@gmail.com> wrote: > For starters, I am a newish python programmer, far enough along to have > my feet wet.
