I have been having trouble getting the surfarray module to work. I am using
Python 2.5.1 and Pygame 1.7.1 (both installed from binaries) on Windows XP.
It seems that surfarray uses the Numeric module, which is no longer being
actively supported. There is no binary for Numeric, and it would be some
trouble to compile it from sources seeing as I have not bothered compiling
anything else from source. I have seen the patch for making surfarray use
Numpy instead of Numeric, but again, being a nube, I don't know how to use
the patch to make surfarray work, and I can't seem to find any documentation
on it. So I am wondering:
a) What do I use to patch surfarray?
b) Does the patch work on already installed versions of surfarray, or will I
have to run it on the source code and then compile it from scratch?
c) If I am forced to compile pygame to patch surfarray, will MSCV++ Express
2005 work, or do I need another compiler?
d) If I am forced to compile pygame, do I need to compile python and
everything else from scratch as well?
Thanks in advance!
