Re: [pygame] Pygame for py3?

[Julian Marchant <onpon4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can't figure out how to compile it for Python 3 (3.1, to be exact). Running setup.py with Python 3 does no good (if I don't supply an argument it crashes, and if I do it just re-installs Pygame to /usr/lib/python2.6), and I don't see any arguments for where to install, what Python version, whatever. Sorry if this sounds like a noobish question, but what do "install" and "build" do anyway? does "install" just do the same thing as "build" and copy the files to another directory, or is there a distinction? I'm fairly new to compiling things directly from source and install.html isn't helping me much.

we haven't gotten around to it yet.  There is a link to a 2.7 download
on an external binary providers web page for 2.7 though.
