Re: [pygame] I have Python 2.3 and 2.4; can't use pygame

[Dick Moores <rdm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks very much. I now have the contents of your .zip file (43 objects) 
in Python24\Lib\site-packages\pygame .

But this time when I run playMP3.py I get

Warning (from warnings module):
  File "C:\Python24\MyScripts\playMP3.py", line 2
    Lmove=pygame.movie.Movie('C:/python23/02-25-Buffet_Investor_Lunch.mp3')
RuntimeWarning: use movieext: No module named movieext

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\MyScripts\playMP3.py", line 2, in -toplevel-
    Lmove=pygame.movie.Movie('C:/python23/02-25-Buffet_Investor_Lunch.mp3')
  File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 41, in 
__getattr__
    raise NotImplementedError, MissingPygameModule
NotImplementedError: movieext module not available

Here's playMP3.py again:
===========playMP3.py===========
import pygame, time
Lmove=pygame.movie.Movie('C:/python23/02-25-Buffet_Investor_Lunch.mp3')
Lmove.play()
time.sleep(10)
Lmove.stop()
