Getting pygame going on MAC OSX is not for the fainthearted; so be warned….
It will also take a lot of time
One my first attempt I tried to use the OSX tools as much as possible. This didn’t work after trying all possible combi’s of SDL as OSX framework and SDL as unix lib I tried the mac ports approach.
This is what I did to get it running without having to use an Xserver window
1) Installed Mac Ports: http://www.macports.org/
2) In terminal:
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install py26-game
sudo port install py26-sqlalchemy
Now wait a very long time: almost 2 hours to compile all dependencies (if you didn’t use mac port before)
3) get seniorplay:
svn co https://schoolsplay.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/schoolsplay/branches/sen…
4) in SPConstants.py I changed: noGTK to true; I don’t need GTK now 
5) started seniorplay with the mac ports python in /opt/local/bin/python2.6
/opt/local/bin/python2.6 seniorplay_sp_local.py -t seniorplay
