Re: [pygame] ARGB vs. RGBA

["Brian Fisher" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All righty, I made a test for pygame.image.fromstring with "ARGB" as
the type, looks like it's broken

attached is the test (all 4 drawn things should be identical, but you
can see ones where fromstring is used are bad)

looks like image.tostring with "ARGB" is just fine.

I don't have the ability to build pygame from sources at the moment,
otherwise I'd make a patch & test it - but I think what I said in my
last email should work
