pip install pygame choking on SDL dependency

I'm aware of this. What concerns me is the blind reliance on it while it alters the permissions in your bin folder to be less secure. I'd much prefer if I could just install with pip alone.

Thank you so much for this. Really disappointing that OSX has such trouble. I'm usually a linux guy, but my laptop is a mac.

It's also worth noting that a homebrew install of python 3 will cause the command python to use python 3, whereas OSX relies on a default installation of python 2:

Seems to me like this might cause some weirdness.
