I think this might be because the 1.7.1release for python2.5 didn't link against the correct C library. Files can not be shared amongst the two C libraries. On 6/22/07, Michael George <mdgeorge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi, I'm running pygame 1.7.1release against python 2.5.1 on various windows flavors. When loading an image from a file object using pygame.image.load(...) I encounter a segmentation fault. Passing in a file name works fine, but since I also want to use the same code with tar files, I'd prefer to use file objects. To reproduce: import pygame pygame.init() pygame.image.load( file( 'foo.png' ) ) Thanks!
