"no matching architecture in universal wrapper" when importing pygame

Question

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Python 2.7.2. I went on the pygame website, downloaded and installed all the required frameworks and programs, compiled and installed pygame, but I cant import the module into python. I downloaded an example program off of the pygame website and every time I run it I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/jesse/Downloads/PurpleMines/PurpleMines.py", line 3, in <module>
from pygame import *
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 95, in <module>
from pygame.base import *
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/base.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/base.so: no matching architecture in universal wrapper

I'm guessing its a problem having to do with running a 64-bit OS?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Removing the old pygame install and reinstalling did the trick for me. I'm running Mac OS 10.7

sudo rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame

Then copy and install pygame from:
