Re: [pygame] Mask

I downloaded the image and opened it in notepad...
There ain't no bill of rights! ;)
No idea about the PIL error, I've not made a py2exe of anything but 
straight Pygame thus far.
I'd like to see the source, I'll try to py2exe it as well if you want, 
see if I get the same error,
or freeze or whatever EXE thing you're using.
As I said, not much experience on that stuff yet.
