[pygame] BUG: Crash due to encoding when reposting events


Hi,

I believe to have found a bug that crashes pygame due to an encoding problem.

My goal was to react to a specific event inside a (waiting) function while leaving the event queue untouched, so that the outer (main) function behaves as if I would have never read any events from the queue. I therefore reposted all events I consumed (via pygame.event.get()). This worked until I was pressing keys during execution of this (waiting) function.

Minimal working example:


import pygame, time
pygame.init()
pygame.display.set_mode()
time.sleep(1)
for event in pygame.event.get():
    print('reposting', event)
    pygame.event.post(event)

events = pygame.event.get()


I use "time.sleep(1)" here just to have enough time to press a key. When I do (I pressed the space key), I get the following output:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xde in position 3: invalid continuation byte
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "bug.py", line 9, in <module>
    events = pygame.event.get()
SystemError: <built-in function get> returned a result with an error set


It is the second call to "pygame.event.get()" that results in the crash, and it does so only if I press a key during execution (otherwise, no exception occurs). I use UTF-8 as encoding for my source file. Adding an encoding comment at the beginning of the file does not make a difference.

Best wishes
