[visionegg] Re: leopard, 2.5, VE 1.1.... progress?

I'm not sure why this never made the email list. (Dav sent it there from an unregistered email address, but I tried, twice, to approve it anyway.) Anyhow, I'm sending it to the list for him.

I've been running on 10.5 nearly since it came out. However, I've been using the system 2.5 - I can't remember what, but some packages claimed better support for that. In particular, PyObjC 2.0 I can only get on the system 2.5 (because it's pre-installed).
In any case, visionegg 1.2.dev (SVN head as of a week or two ago) runs the color_grating.py demo just fine for me... so I know it's possible. Here are a list of what I think would be the relevant eggs: 

visionegg-1.2.dev_r1471-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg
numpy-1.1.1-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg
PyOpenGL-3.0.0b2-py2.5.egg
PIL-1.1.6-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg
pygame-1.8.0rc4-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg
In my experience, it's worked best to easy_install where possible, else go 'round to each site (e.g. pygame, pyobjc, etc.) and download their releases. In particular, I generally shun pythonmac.org. They are kind of the "old way" before things got a bit more sorted out. Note that I'm running on i386 - don't know if that matters. 

You might also consider installing EPD (the "beta" is way better):

But be sure to install the fixes from here:
https://svn.enthought.com/epd/wiki/FAQ/ Python2.5.2/4.0.300#MacOSXBeta1:EnableKivadoesnotworkcorrectly
This has at least numpy, PIL (which is a pain) and PyOpenGL already taken care of. Plus you get a lot of other nice things.
If you have any more specific issues or questions, I'm happy to answer them about my setup. 

Cheers,
Dav
