getting error after installing pygame on osx mavericks

Question

I have installing pygame 1.6.2 by python setup.py install from tar i downloaded from pygame website, however when I try to import pygame I am getting this error:

macHost:fooBar$ cd Downloads/pygame-1.6.2

macHost:pygame-1.6.2 fooBar$ python -c "import pygame"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 64, in <module>
    from pygame.base import *
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/base.so, 2): Symbol not found: _SDL_EnableUNICODE

Can anyone fix this error please I need to get pygame run on my OSx mavericks !

I am getting the same error with version 1.9, however when I was trying to install using brew i saw message compatible version 1.6.2 so I tried with 1.6.2 — Ciasto piekarz, Apr 18 '15 at 13:21
You installed from here http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml? — Padraic Cunningham, Apr 18 '15 at 18:54
