Hi, Cara, I have it sorted out. Originally, Pyton 2.4 had installed as a folder in my applications folder. I moved it into the Python folder in /library, just fthe sake of organization. Now I can launch SoundRTS with this in terminal: code: cd /applications/games/soundrts/ python soundrts.pyc

Thomas and Teresa, Yes, Mac can run concurrent versions of Python. Teresa, did your installer install a folder within the Applications folder or a .app bundle? Also, what versions of Python do you see when you do a control click or VO-shift-M to bring up a context menu on an app which needs

Hi Teresa, Honestly I am not sure. I know Python is designed to run multiple concurrent versions side by side, but I am not as skilled with running Python on Mac as I am Windows and Linux. Although, I'd imagine the Python libraries should go in /library/python/2.4/ which is similar to Linux and

Hi, all, I'm not a programmer, but I'd call myself an intermediate computer user, and I'm not afraid to try command-line options. I've run across a few Python games, but they don't launch. I'm using Mac OS X 10.8. I've installed Python 1.4, PyGames, and PYOCJB. When I run a .pyc file indicated

Hi Teresa, As a fellow Mac user, it would help if I knew which games in particular you were referring to, so I could see if I could get them working. Any chance you could supply me with a name and place to get them? :-) Thanks, Zack. Sent from my iPhone On Apr 13, 2013, at 3:16 PM, Teresa

Hi Teresa, Python applications are Python version specific. For example, if you have a program that requires Python 2.7 then you must install Python 2.7 and not any other version to run that application. Running a version of Python too old or too new will likely end up not working. Also you must

Hi Jacob, Not sure what version of Ubuntu you tried, but version 12.04 and later use Python 2.7. Ubuntu and most Linux distributions haven't used Python 2.5 for two or three years. However, I agree with the point that 2.7 is the current stable release. Anything less than 2.7 is old, and if she is

Hi Teresa, Ah, that makes sense. SoundRTS, if I remember correctly needs Python 2.4, as well as the latest Pygame for that version of Python That game is sadly a bit out of date and isn't compatible with newer versions of Python so you may run into compatibility issues running it on Mac. On

Hi, guys, Thanks for the help. Yes, the instructions in the readme file were specific about dependencies and versions and such. I'm sure I followed them, but I'll double-check. There were a couple of versions of dependencies that I couldn't find in the given links, so I googled them. This is

Teresa: I've installed Python 1.4, PyGames, and PYOCJB. GB: Hi Teresa. Python 1.4 is a very very extremely old release of Python. Are you sure to have reported the correct version of you Python interpreter? If so, I strongly suggest you to upgrade to 2.7.3 www.python.org Bye Gabriel. ---
