I was able to build pygame for python.org python for MacOS X 10.6 and later that includes portmidi. I made a binary installer and it's available here: <pygame-1.9.1release-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.6.dmg> I was never able to build portmidi for python.org's MacOS X 10.3 python and later; something about the setup is too old for the portmidi files that are provided, though I don't know if it's an intrinsic limitation or something odd about the way the portmidi make files were created. -- Russell
