pygame should run fine on 1.5.2 (been a little while since
i tested it, but i don't think any changes would have
broken that)

there are a bunch of macros that get created in "pygame.h"
that emulate python2 functions if it is compiling with 1.5.2.
so it may look like it's using unicode and whatnot, but it
will still run with python 1.5.2


also, you need to download distutils for python1.5.2,
to get it compiled and installed. other than that it
should run perfect. i even ported most of the examples
to run with python 1.5.2.

if you do run into any troubles, be sure to let me know.
i'd like to keep the 1.5.2 support maintained, even if it
is little used. :]
