[pygame] Re: pygame.image.get_extended() = 0 Tried everything- should I just give up?

Hi 
This comes from the Anaconda support help that I got. I cannot take credit for this solution, only for seeking it out and passing it on!

brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi 
conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/quasiben pygame 

There apparently is some issue between the libjpeg and libpng that comes with anaconda (where is it run) and those that you will compile with if you compile pygame, as I did many times. The conda install command actually will install a pygame that was compiled to work with those libraries in anaconda so that when you actually run things, you will get the extended image support.
The first line requires that you have brew installed and it will install the SDL packages and portmidi. The second line uses conda - the equivalent of brew, but in anaconda. This will actually take the SDL and port midi that was installed, and use it as a dependency for the pygame. 

This is apparently a 64 bit installation. I found that it worked just fine for me. So now I have the comfort of anaconda, and the availability of pygame - which is exactly what I wanted. 

I hope this helps out.
