yeah, that could be cool too. Here's an example of using googles code search for the pygame.image.load function. http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=pygame.image.load That's pretty cool... and easy to put a link in the docs to it from each function. On 9/1/07, Richard Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, What we need to do for pygame now is get *heaps* better test coverage. This point was rammed home in a talk given by Guido about py3k. I've been thinking about this over the last couple of months, and test coverage is the main thing that we should be doing now in preparation for python

The SDL 2 plan has become SDL 1.3. They are just incrementally changing it rather than a complete change now. I think it might be ready by then... but not sure. SDL has a release when done road map for 1.3 I think. Very much a good time to break backwards compatibility. However note that SDL
