AFAIK, this is due to Python 2.4 being compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 7 (MSVC 7; part of Visual Studio .NET 2003), where Python 2.2 and Python 2.3 are compiled with MSVC 6 (part of Visual Studio 6).
I think pygame would need a re-compile to work with runtime libs of Python 2.4 (maybe a new package is already prepared?).
