dear list, i need pygame for
www.portablepython.com
i need it for teaching programming to total beginners. i choose python 3.0.1
version of portable python, because it avoids some problems that would confuse
programming beginners ( for example the integer division problem)
later in the course i introduce pygame and let them program a very simple
breakout like game and a baloon pop game.
question: is pygame already compatible with python 3.0.1 ?
No, but the pgreloaded branch is. It lacks some documentation, examples and
testing, though.

thank you for fast replying. question: would it work to download the branch
using svn, and then just use the dlls (SDL.dll, jpeg.dll , etc) from the
official binary releases of pygame ?
(maybe i should just test instead asking ;-) )
thanks anyway for pointing me to the pgreloaded branch.
The Python 2.6 Pygame dependencies are compatible with Python 3. I hope
to have a new Pygame installer for 2.6 shortly, with updated
dependencies if necessary. As for using Pygame prebuilts with pgreloaded
I have had no luck, though it looks like it should use them when available.
