  <p>I am trying to install pygame 1.9.1 (32bit) on 64 bit Mac 10.6 machine with Python 2.7.2 (I also have Python 3.2 installed on the same machine).  I am using the Python versions downloaded from the website, not the preinstalled versions.  I tried the following solutions (from here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2088569/how-do-i-force-python-to-be-32-bit-on-snow-leopard-and-other-32-bit-64-bit-quest">How do I force Python to be 32-bit on Snow Leopard and other 32-bit/64-bit questions</a>), but they didn't work for me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
  arch -i386 /usr/bin/python2.6
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(I also tried with renaming the last string python2.7 and just python)</p>
  
  <p>I have entered all of these 'solutions' in the Python 2.7.2 shell.  Please let me know if you have any other ideas and thanks so much for the help.  I would appreciate if you could explain how to implement the solution in detail and what the solution does.</p>
