Re: [pygame] PySDL2 0.5.0 released

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marcus,

Well, your "Hello, World!" example 
(http://pysdl2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial/helloworld.html) works 
on Linux Mint with Python 2.7 (both CPython and PyPy versions) and 
Python 3.3. It failed to install for Python 2.5, though.

Good work.
