[pygame] Loading XBM cursors?

[Jan Ekholm <chakie@infa.abo.fi>]

Hi all,

I tried to load into our game a few custom cursors. They are all in XBM
files, so I tried to use:

pygame.cursors.load_xbm(file,mask)

but the function fails with:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.0/site-packages/pygame/cursors.py", line
174, in load_xbm
    info = tuple([int(curs[x].split()[-1]) for x in range(4)])
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): {


I can't say I understand what goes on there... Maybe the funtion assumes
another (binary) format that can be decoded with the above function? The
XBM file I try to load is composed of the following files (data and mask):

#define cursors-map-point-001_width 32
#define cursors-map-point-001_height 32
static char cursors-map-point-001_bits[] = {

  0x80, 0xff, 0x03, 0x00, 0x80, 0xff, 0x03, 0x00 };

  0x80, 0xff, 0x03, 0x00, 0x80, 0xff, 0x03, 0x00 };


Do I assume soemthing wrong about the function, or is this something fixed
in 1.0pre? I still use 0.9, with SDL 1.1.8 (although SDL it is not used by
the function load_xbm() at all, AFAIK.

Any hints? Anyone done this? If it's fixed in 1.0 I'll go download it
right away...
