Yeah cool. I think it will give me a good push to finish off more tests as we change towards py3k.
The sprite module is missing tests for a lot of the older sprite functionality. So that's the major one of the .py files I think. Our build scripts, and tests are the other major .py files. If we start back porting some of the pgreloaded py3k stuff, then I think we can have a pygame 1.9 prerelease for py3k within 4 weeks time(in time for the course). Remember, it only took Marcus a few days to port pgreloaded. cheers, On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 11:32 AM, Lenard Lindstrom <le...@telus.net> wrote: > I would agree that Python 2.6 is more appropriate at the moment.
