[visionegg] Installing visionegg on OS X

For those that have suffered, as I have, with the difficulty of installing pygame (and thus visionegg) on a mac:

Suffer no more! It is now quite easy to install in EPD (or presumably other distributions of python). But, if you do install with EPD, you need to delete the libz files from:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/4.3.0/lib

They are non-fat, which crashes the build of pyobjc. After that, though, easy_install works for pyobjc, pygame and visionegg (assuming you have SDL installed, and you've fixed EPD such that it doesn't block you from using easy_install with it's password-protected repository - edit .enstallerrc in site-packages to do that).

I guess it's still not "easy," but it certainly takes less interaction on my end!

Cheers,
Dav
