Re: [pygame] pygame.mixer.music broken in py2app games?

[James Paige <Bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But pygame.mixer.music isn't a module. You can;t ever do that, 
regardless of whether or not you are using py2app. Try it.

darkside:~/src/hamster/stegavorto/musictest james$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygame.mixer.music
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named music

I think .music genuinely is a simple attribute of pygame.mixer and not a 
module. I don't understand why, but that seems to be the case.
