Re: [pygame] movie module?

[Arnau Sánchez <arnau@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am also interested on the new module "movieext" with Windows, but I
can't run it. I have download and installed
pygame-1.7.1release.win32-py2.4.exe, but then:

>>> pygame.__version__
'1.7.1release'
>>> pygame.movieext
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "D:\pro\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 52,
in __get_attr__
    raise NotImplementedError, MissingPygameModule
NotImplementedError: movieext module not available
>>>

am I doing something wrong?

thanks
arnau
