New issue 461 by chinbillybilbo: Mac Python depends on 32-bit Carbon
http://code.google.com/p/pyglet/issues/detail?id=461

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install pyglet on a Mac with OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
2. import pyglet

Paste in the traceback or error message:
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py
", line 345, in __init__
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: dlopen(/System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/QuickTime,
6): no suitable
image found. Did find:
/System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/QuickTime: no matching
architecture in
universal wrapper
/System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/QuickTime: no matching
architecture in
universal wrapper

pyglet 1.1 with Python 2.5: Paste in the output of `python -m pyglet.info`
Other: Paste in the output of tools/gl_info.py (included in source distro):
Not a GL problem.

Any additional info (platform/language/hardware) that may be relevant?
The problem is referenced in this thread:

Basically, Python 2.6 is 64 bit on Macs and pyglet depends on Carbon, which
is 32-bit. There is a
hack a to set Python to 32 bit mode, but then you end up getting conflicts
with other libraries
that you want to use in 64-bit mode (e.g. pymunk).

The effort to switch to Cocoa, and thereby resolve this problem, was
started quite a
while ago. It stagnated for a while but the progress is now in the
repository and is
therefore opened up to the community.
