[Pythonmac-SIG] Problem with pygame and py2app

[David Hill]

Hi,

I've been working on a small pygame app and I've just now started  
trying to build a Mac OS X application bundle out of it.

When I run "python setup.py py2app" with no additional options, I get  
a verbose set of output ending with:

The main problem seems to be that SDL_image doesn't contain the ppc  
architecture. If I run "file <path to SDL_image>" I get the following:

> /Volumes/Storage/Users/davidh/Documents/workspace/Haul/src/dist/ 
> Haul.app/Contents/Frameworks/SDL_image.framework/Versions/A/ 
> SDL_image: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures

> SDL_image (for architecture i386):  Mach-O dynamically linked

> Haul.app/Contents/Frameworks/SDL_image.framework/Versions/A/ 
> SDL_image (for architecture cputype (0) cpusubtype (0)):    Mach-O  
> universal binary with 2 architectures

which seems very strange to me. If it has two architectures, I would  
have expected ppc and i386, not "cputype (0) cpusubtype (0)" as it  
says above. Did I somehow get my SDL installation messed up? I seem  
to have installed python 2.4.4, pyobjc 1.4, and pygame-1.8.0pre- 
py2.4. Perhaps that pre-py2.4 is my problem?

I'm running on a Mac Pro with 10.4.8 and I'd like to be able to build  
a universal .app for this project. If it is necessary to reinstall  
python, pygame, pyobjc, and SDL, which versions should I use? Every  
time I look for the most recent matching versions, I seem to find  
python 2.5 but no associated pygame or pyobjc. I'm also unsure as to  
whether or not it is healthy to move on to python 2.5 if nothing else  
has been rebuilt yet.

Please help! What should I have installed on my Mac Pro to develop on  
10.4.8 and build universal binaries? I'm not using any python 2.5  
specific features yet but I wouldn't mind moving in that direction  
eventually.

Thanks,

Dave
