I'm working on it. For two events to be equal not only the types, but all attribute values will also have to be equal. I am currently testing the patch.

hi,
Sorry, the Event class doesn't let you add attributes(like
Nicholas says).
If you have a patch at the C level we can add an __eq__ since it
seems like a good idea (I think). Or maybe someone will implement
it for you.
Or maybe we could allow events to have a dictionary associated
with them... so you can add methods and attributes like this... So it acts more like a normal object. Will have to think about
the implications of this...
cheers,

Hi!
I thought it would be nice to add an __eq__ method to the
pygame.event.Event class at runtime. This would let me use ==
(rich comparison operator) on events in the manner of
if pygame.event.wait() == trigger_event:
pass
I tried to do this with setattr like so (please pardon the
one-liner):
setattr( pygame.event.Event.__class__, '__eq__', lambda
self, other: self.type == other.type )
I've tried several variations on this idea, but the attribute
seems to be off-limits. I keep getting errors like "TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type
'builtin_function_or_method'". I notice that calling
pygame.event.Event.__class__ lists it as a "builtin function
or method.", but I'm not sure why this means I can't create
the method.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks,
and I'm sorry if this is more about python than pygame. I'm
hoping it passes the relevance threshold:)
