Hi-

I've recently written a few apps with pygame, and noted that the
multimedia keys on my keyboard produce a keycode of 0 in keydown/up
events. This patch also passes the OS-dependent scancode for the key into
Python. Though not useful for identifying keys generically, it could be
useful for allowing you to set a per-machine or per-user key binding.
Right now, I'm using it with Freevo to bind the volume up/down keys on my
keyboard.
