last tests was with pyhton 2.7.6 on an other pysical machine mint17, and python3.4.0, CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz pygame 1.9.1 default installed by synaptic, and work perfectly with python2.7.6
$python3 >>> import pygame ImportError: No module named 'pygame' never tried, but seems python3 doesn't support default packaged pygame1.9.1. pygame for python3 installed as wiki + libfreetype6-dev report "Erreur lors de la concaténation de /usr/share/doc-base/kino-en avec /usr/share/doc-base/kino-fr : le format html est déjà défini." which seems a minor alert, kino works. $python3 >>> import pygame >>> pygame.version.ver '1.9.2a0' i don't (never) use python3 with pygame. but seems to report errors with games tested when : pygame.image.load(imagename) pygame.error: File is not a Windows BMP file ex: http://www.pygame.org/project-Pong-2878-.html i don't know if these games tested really works with python3 (maybe only for windows?). do you have an application link where python3+pygame1.9.1 is working? 2015-03-13 17:56 GMT+01:00 William Manire <williamkman...@gmail.com>: > Awesome!
