Hi everyone,

Here is the latest Pygame 1.9.0 (rev 2500) for Python 2.6 on Windows. Though the machine this was compiled on has a firewall and active antivirus program, it uses XP and is not mine, so take whatever precautions you feel necessary. The msi installer is:

http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/pygame-1.9.0b03win32-py2.6.msi

md5sum:
e247f69466be1f847c875794cc01d173

There is no corresponding Python 3.1 version. A distutils bug, absent in Python 3.0 and fixed in Python 2.6.2, prevents compilation with MinGW.

Enjoy,

Lenard Lindstrom


Thanks for the build !!!
1. In the section 'Tests', the docs tells:

"""A quick way to run the test suite package from the command line is to import the go submodule 

with the Python -m option: 

  python -m pygame.tests [<test options>]
"""

but in winXP, python 2.6.1 this not works:
 

D:\tmp>c:\python26\python.exe -m pygame.tests
c:\python26\python.exe: pygame.tests is a package and cannot be directly executed


Making a script pygame19rc3_starter.py with the contents:

#test starter
from pygame.tests import run
run()
#script ends

and running with

D:\tmp>c:\python26\python.exe -m pygame19rc3_starter.py

the tests runs.

----------------------------------
2. The test run goes ok: 
...
Ran 412 tests in 62.766s

OK

----------------------------------
3. playtested some games and old bugdemos, no problems 
----------------------------------
thanks !
