normally people just blit one surface to another with the "blit" method of
the dest surface:
http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/surface.html#Surface.blit
so instead of this:
frame = pygame.surfarray.array2d(screen2) #copies
pygame.surfarray.blit_array(screen, frame)
you could do this:
screen.blit(screen2, (0,0))
...but if you are getting the "frame" array anyways for another purpose,
then the blit_array call is a perfectly fine way to go - it shouldn't
perform any different in your case (i.e. not using hardware display
suraces), and it means you are actually rendering what you are working with,
which can be a good thing.
