            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 !

Ah, damn.  I notice this on ubuntu, and OSX with python2.6 too...

However it works with python3.0 and python3.1

Here's the python bug:
http://bugs.python.org/issue2751
Looks like someone just decided to break it in python2.6. I guess they haven't ported the brokenness to py3k yet. 

Maybe we should use:

python -m pygame.tests.main
python -m pygame.examples.main

A bit uglier, but it will at least work!


cheers,

Hi,

python -m pygame.tests.__main__
python -m pygame.docs.__main__

There would be no reason to run pygame.examples, right?
The explanation I found was that being able to run a package in Python 2.5 was considered a bug, so was fixed in Python 2.6. Adding __main__.py as an entry point for running a package in Python 2.7 and 3.0 is an attempt repair the fix.
