[pygame] When is pygame 1.8 coming out?

[Kamilche <kamilche@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When is version 1.8 of pygame coming out? I went looking on the 
Internet, and saw lots of messages about 'any week now' dating back to 
2006.

What I need is a windows installer of pygame 1.8 that runs with Python 
2.5. I don't have all the prerequisite compilers and packages to compile 
my own version.

If it's still not available, what have people migrated to for their 
Python 2.5 game development? Are they using ctypes with SDL, or something?
