Im curious why "is" is bad in this case, as well. It's a constant; isn't that a good use for is, whether it's referring to an int or not? I tend to do this for event handling. Maybe ints are always pointers in python?
The caveat for events is just warning you that the queue could fill up if you didnt call pygame.event.get() at all.
