py27-game; installation looks clean, but library not found

[Lynn Oliver]

I didn't necessarily mean that MacPorts installed those three files, just that they were the only ones I found.  Sorry for the confusion.

It appears that you correctly identified the problem:

My current Python installation is in System/Library/Frameworks/Python.Frameworks.  The alias is, as you suggested, in /user/local/bin/python.  

MacPorts has installed another copy of Python in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.Framework.  If I execute  /opt/local/bin/python2.7 it starts the version installed by MacPorts, and it indeed does find pygame.

So how do I proceed from here?  Do I have any option other than trying to recreate my current build environment in /opt/local?

Thanks,
Lynn

At this point I should be able to import pygame in python, but it is not recognized.  I searched the entire disk for files named pygame.*, and the only ones I found were in system/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/Extras/python/py2app/recipes/pygame.py and the equivalent folder for versions 2.6 and 2.5.

The flip side to this is that the python executable you use also matters; stuff under /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework would only be available in /usr/bin/python, not /opt/local/bin/python which looks under /opt/local/Library/Python.framework.
