Installing Pyglet in mac


I have followed this link in order to install pyglet in mac, because it is the only resource I have found that solves the "wrong architecture" problem. However, when I execute the last commmand pip install pyobjc==2.2, it gives me the following error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_install_lib'

I have tried to execute the helloworld example from the pyglet programing guide anyway, but when I execute pyglet.app.run(), the pyglet window freezes and does not display anything.

Do you have any idea why this is happening? Is there another way to install pyglet in mac?


Solution

  • I don't understand the point of your pyobjc install ?

    The issue with Pyglet on osX is 64-bit architecture, so just try this to force python to go 32bit by typing this in your console:

    defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes
