Actually I've found that's a little dangerous. Depending on how it's
done (and there's three methods that spring immediately to mind:
source, python.org binary and ActiveState binary) it'll most likely
confusticate your "default" python installation, potentially breaking
other things.
I've just tried the cocoa branch and it failed for me using
ActiveState Python 2.6.4.10 (installed over the broken system python,
basically) and PyObjC 2.2b2:
>>> import pyglet.gl
... snip ...
File
"/Users/richard/src/projects/pyglet/cocoa-port/pyglet/window/cocoa/__init__.py",
line 97, in initWithWindow_
self, "applicationDidHide:", NSApplicationDidHideNotification, None)
NameError: global name 'NSApplicationDidHideNotification' is not defined
I'll see whether I can upgrade the PyObjC version to the 2.2 release.
