When Pygame reads from the file-like objects it does no rewinding or
positioning. It just reads bytes from the stream. This means you can
load images from a lot more than files. You could read from an http
stream, or directly out of a zipped archive.

It could be better implied in the documentation how that works.
Generally in all of Python tools. When something wants to read from a
file-like object it usually only calls the read() method on it. (and
maybe sometimes close())
