Re: [pygame] problems getting python 3.1 to work with pygame 1.9

[Khono Hackland <generousparasite@xxxxxxxxx>]

It is indeed for python 3.1.  The book tells the user, on page 5,
specifically to get 3.1 and gives this link:
http://www.delmarlearning.com/companions/index.asp?isbn=1435455002

Presumeably the downloads link there allows the reader to get a
working set of programs but the link's not working for me.
