The documentation is included in the pygame release in the directory
"docs/". All the information about licensing I have found for pygame
is that it is LGPL

When I try this for Python 2.4 I find nothing is replaced. Only files
new to Pygame 1.8 are added. Consequently I don't get the error since it
is still effectively Pygame 1.7. The msi installer is generated entirely
by distutils. To customize its behavior means more hacks to distutils.

LGPL doesn't make a lot of sense for documentation, it refers to binaries

hey,
I've made a note about uninstalling pygame 1.7.1 first on the download page...
However I think we need to figure out how to get the windows installer
to check if pygame is installed already... and if so uninstall it. Or
if we can't do that, make it display instructions to uninstall in the

Try uninstalling pygame (make sure all traces of pygame are gone), and then

That part of the documentation is outdated. The movie module works fine
on Windows and is included in Pygame 1.8.0. Here is a simple movie player:

pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.quit()
movie = pygame.movie.Movie(filepath)
OK, so I've tried the exe you built into an installer, and I get the

That error message tells me that you're using Windows,
not Linux. With the recent versions of Pygame for
Windows, even if your code is correct, the movie will

info.)
