I ran into problems when I try to play a game using the latest pygame version from PyPI. It just happened to me with Hexoshi and I'm not sure if it's a pygame bug. The main developer of Hexoshi says it's a pygame 1.9.2 bug. Here is the log of the error and the discussion of the issue I submitted to Hexoshi issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/hexoshi/hexoshi/issues/4
If this is a pygame bug, please someone submit it to Bitbucket pygame issue tracker, I don't have an account.
