Hi Sean, No one is, as far as I'm aware. There used to be one, but homebrew removed all python packages I think. You can probably find the previous maintainers with some searching.
Happy to help you out if you need it. The mac homebrew compile instructions are here: https://www.pygame.org/wiki/MacCompile#Installing%20from%20source%20with%20homebrew Note, we currently recommend people use this to install stuff. python3 -m pip -U install pygame --user With a whole bunch of platform specific notes at: https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted That doesn't install into the system folder, but into a user folder. It's unfortunate that pip still destroys stuff by default. ps. it looks like you need to sign up to the mailing list at: https://www.pygame.org/wiki/info#Mailing%20List Seems your post is just on the google mirror of the mailing list. Sorry for the confusion. On Sunday, February 18, 2018 at 4:07:59 AM UTC+1, SeanSF wrote: > > Hey all, so it appears that installing pygame on the newer OSX versions is > extremely problematic.
