[pygame] PATCH Segmentation fault when opening font from file object



When I tried to open a Font from a file object I got a segmentation fault:

import pygame
file = open("font.ttf", "rb")
font = pygame.font.Font(file, 12)
<-- Segmentation fault



I tried to debug src/font.c and I found the bug at Line 623-625:

Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS;
font = TTF_OpenFontIndexRW (rw, 1, fontsize, 0);
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS;


I replaced it with how file objects in src/images.c are opened:

if (RWopsCheckPython (rw)) {
    font = TTF_OpenFontIndexRW (rw, 1, fontsize, 0);
}
else
{
    Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS;
    font = TTF_OpenFontIndexRW (rw, 1, fontsize, 0);
    Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS;
}


Now I don't get segmentation faults anymore. I hope that fixes the
problem properly.

I attached the new font.c and a patch to the email.

Some version information:
pygame: '1.9.1release'
Linux: 2.6.25.20-0.7-pae
freetype: 9.16.3
