    Hi everyone,

    I am making available a new Pygame 1.9.0a0 (rev 1772) installer
    for Python 2.6 on Windows. This Pygame version uses a newer SDL
    and related libraries, so fixes some bugs reported for Pygame
    1.8.1. Also this version has René's first efforts at wrapping
    pyportmidi, so includes pyportmidi itself. And that is not all. At
    no extra cost I through in numpy 1.2.1 for Python 2.6 as well. It
    doesn't pass all its unit tests, but those failed tests involve
    compiling with fortran and changed output formats. It is good
    enough for Pygame though. Finally, the Windows prebuilts used with
    1.9.0a0 are available for those do-it-yourselfers.

A Christmas gift from Lenard !!! Just FYI, I tried it, on win XP sp3, with a handful of games and bugdemos for 1.7 - 1.8 , seems to run fine. The only complain was in one game, about unable to load pygame.surfarray ( but this is a fresh python 2.6 + pygame installation, without any extra modules ) 
You need NumPy. The scipy.org developers are working on a Python 2.6 release. In the mean time my interem NumPy release passes the surfarray and sndarray tests.
