The 13th Python Game Programming Challenge (PyWeek) is coming. It'll
run from the 11th to the 18th of September.

The PyWeek challenge:

- Invites entrants to write a game in one week from scratch either as
an individual or in a team,
- Is intended to be challenging and fun,
- Will hopefully increase the public body of game tools, code and expertise,
- Will let a lot of people actually finish a game, and
- May inspire new projects (with ready made teams!)

Hi Richard!

I've participated in a few previous PyWeeks and enjoyed them. I was
hoping of forming a team at work, but we all run OSX Lion and I can't
seem to find a recent release of Pyglet that would run on it. The dmg
doesn't seem to handle Python 2.7, and installing via source seems to
run into 64bit issues.

Any tips for Lion users for getting Pyglet running?

Thanks for any tips!
- Rooney

I've just reinstalled Snow Leopard on my Mac and have successfully run
the latest pyglet from the source repository using the stock Python
2.6 64-bit build.

I grabbed trunk from Mercurial, and it seems to install and run perfectly under Lion, with the stock Python.

If you download the source distribution and just drop it in your
project root, it works fine 2.5 through 2.7, *including pypy,* which
gives my particular demo a 20 FPS boost.
