Installing python on leopard
I admit I am completely disabled by installing python. Can someone help me on how to install the module.
I want to play with PyGame, PyOpenGL, etc. So I install them, but every time I type the "import pygame" error message appears.
here is my environment so far.
In .bash_profile
PATH=${PATH}:/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin
Using easy_install PyOpenGL put this
/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PyOpenGL-3.0.0b8-py2.5.egg
Find pygame module
dchong:~ danielchong$ locate pygame
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pygame.py
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pygame.pyc
dchong:~ danielchong$ locate pyopengl
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pyopengl.py
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/py2app/recipes/pyopengl.pyc
when i run python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)

I'm not a big fan of installing python by default on OS X, primarily, mainly because it's usually a pretty old version. I find everything works better if I use the macports package.
easy_install seems to work better with the macports package, but perhaps that's simply because I'm too lazy to figure out the nuances of the default installation.
From what I can see there, it looks like the package path is not set correctly. Are you sure you are using the correct package site directory?
