Hi,
I just tested it with the Zanthor game... and get an error on OS X 10.7.
File "/Users/rene/dev/zanthor/zanthor/intro.py", line 111, in update
img = fnt.render(text,1,(0,0,0))
File
"/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/ftfont.py",
line 68, in render
s, r = super(Font, self).render(text, color, background)
SystemError: error return without exception set
The 'text' variable there is "you".
Zanthor can be found here...
svn checkout http://zanthor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ zanthor-read-only
