Re: Installing pygame
I literally just installed pyGame under 3.5.1, using following .whl file that pulled off a site offering collections of .whl files: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ And, according to following page, the command of pi3p install ...followed by name of .whl file... handled installing pyGame under 3.5.1: https://skellykiernan.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/python-pygame-install/ That was after copying the .whl file into the./scripts directory under python 3.5.1 installation path.

It installed libraries on my regular library path so that they got picked up by things that they weren't appropriate for. This most likely was not MacPorts, its default install path is not checked by dyld by default. But I use a wide variety of libraries, not all of them available that way, and many of them installed from source, and I find it's less hassle overall to do everything the native MacOSX way wherever possible. Well, the native MacOSX way would probably be registering a package via installer(8) not compiling from source. As long as you're comfortable with your system then it's good for you. In my experience the more libraries/software I install the more useful a package manager becomes in terms of stray files left when upgrading or uninstalling. I use a mix of MacPorts to provide the base tools and virtualenv for project-specific pypi libraries. -- Andrea -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

My advice would be to steer clear of things like Fink and MacPorts and do things the native MacOSX way wherever possible. That means using a framework installation of Python and framework versions of the various libraries that PyGame uses. There are a number of steps to getting pygame working: 1) Make sure you have a working framework installation of an appropriate version of Python. I installed mine from source, but a binary installation should work too. Depending on your MacOSX version, the system python might be sufficient. 2) Install framework versions of the SDL library and other libraries that pygame uses. You may need to hunt around a bit, but you should be able to find DMG installers for all of these. In my /Library/Frameworks I have: SDL.framework SDL-QD.framework SDL_image.framework SDL_mixer.framework SDL_net.framework SDL_ttf.framework 3) Install pygame itself with the usual 'python setup.py install'. If you have all the relevant libraries, the installer will auto detect them and use them. At the end, it will tell you which ones it couldn't find. Pygame will work without some of them, but those features won't be available. You can add more libraries and run setup.py again if you need to. 4) Specific games may require other Python libraries such as Numpy etc. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I've chosen to use MacPorts because it keeps things separate, because when things get hosed using the system libraries, I don't have to erase my whole system to get back to a vanilla OS X install. Unfortunately, it seems like the differences in which libraries are used, what options are enabled at library build time, etc, make it difficult to ensure that things always work when you try to use the stuff built-in to the system, and untangling the Homebrew mess can be painful. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Wait, the python -c help('modules') worked after spamming it a few times.

Try to always say what your error was.
Do you have pip installed? Pygame AFAIK is a c extension so it requires a
working compiler. I think you need to have one.

Where is a step-by-step installation procedure ? Thanks, franck That'd likely be because package installations are limited to the major and minor version they were built for. Those two packages, for example, were built for Python 2.7, which is significantly different from Python 3.3. I'm not seeing any 3.3 builds for Pygame *at all*, even for Windows, so you'd probably be best off moving to Python 2.7.
