Who maintains the Pygame package on PyPi? I don't think it works on
any operating system. Would be nice to have this as a viable install
path.

I think it's because pygame requires a bunch of SDL stuff, so it's better
to apt-get python-pygame.

Then why is it in PyPi at all?

for people who all ready have the SDL dependencies, I'm guessing.

It probably would be nice if you could get precompiled binaries via
PyPi and not (as it is now), the source that tries to compile once
downloaded.
If this worked, it would be a great way to get PyGame (and other
packages that depend on it) for any system.

As someone who has SDL installed (on OS X) I actually find "pip
install pygame" to be quite useful.

There was a bug in pip that has been fixed some time ago. Get a new
version of pip and try again.

Pip upgraded itself from 1.0 to 1.2.1, and the error is gone. Thanks!
