Re: [pygame] pygame.quit() not working after upgrade to python 2.6

[René Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

thanks for reporting the bug...  it shouldn't hang things.


Note, that it's generally better to let your program end naturally, rather than calling sys.exit.


For example, you can do it the way mentioned below...


import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

going = True

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((320,200))

while going:
    events = pygame.event.get()
    for e in events:
        if e.type in [QUIT]:
            going = False

    pygame.display.flip()



cheers,

Yes, using just sys.exit() hangs the game up.

However, on other python programs (not using pygame) using sys.exit() does not hang the application up, so it is something to do with pygame.

Have you tried

 

if event.type == pygame.QUIT:

 sys.exit()

Is there any reason pygame.quit() hangs the application up?

I am running python 2.6 on Ubuntu.

It works on python 2.6 in windows.

What, if any information could I provide to help track down the culprite?
