Re: [pygame] mouse scroll wheel

[SB <shandy@geeky.net>]

the scrollwheel is usually considered buttons 4 and 5 of the mouse.

however, the other buttons have a "down" and an "up" event.  maybe the
wheel up/down is only one or the other, or maybe both at once?

so maybe you should be checking for MOUSEBUTTONUP instead of
MOUSEBUTTONDOWN

if event.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN (or UP)
   print event.button, " -- expecting 4 or 5 here"
