Pygame is inching closer to a new release, and we've just put a release candidate on PyPI:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygame/1.9.2rc1 We now have pre-built wheels for Linux, Mac (>=10.9) and Windows. Please give it a go and let us know of any problems you run into. You can install it by running: pip install --pre pygame (the --pre flag, to install a pre-release, may not be necessary in this case, but it won't hurt). We're already aware of some issues on Mac with Pygame inside virtualenvs (and other non-framework Python builds): https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/203/window-does-not-get-focus-on-os-x-with Thanks, Thomas
