Re: [pygame] Mac pygame user wanted to help test new pygame clipboard support.

Yes, that code is in the current scrap_clipboard.py that I'm testing.
I saw that exception and was confused it was not running into that  
one. I'm a bit stressed last days, will hopefully try it again from  
shell and not from WingIDE later on. But I guess that won't solve the  
problem. I can play around with it having a bit more time to locate  
the problem. I will also try your idea below again (guess that's the  
code I tried first time).

Aaaaah, hold on, I can vaguely remember a similar problem I had once.  
It had to do with a pygame object type that I wanted to assign to a  
new variable. I was forced then to manually initiate the variable  
first before assigning a value with that object type (like an image,  
but I can't remember what type it was).

Can you confirm that the code works as such on your system (Windows,  
Linux, ...) ?

Regards
Farai
