Re: [pygame] From * import * and Pygame2exe

Yes, the whole crux is that I currently have a proprietary text file
to Python variable and code loader, but if I could replace this with
pure Python, I would be a much happier fellow.  The loader just takes
room data and converts it into a list, then takes some Actor data and
creates a group of Actor instances, then takes a chunk of code,
compiles it, then exec's that code every cycle (this being
room-specific code, like victory conditions, special cases, etc.).
