Two news in one (but very short):

1) I've updated my port of Python-2.4 into 2.4.2.
No changes for the port himself except that I use MorphUP now:

2) An excellent news: I've made a special version of Python-2.4.2 with included a port of Pygame (as a static module). It's a very fast port (in 2 days), so no time to make tests and debug (sound may crash your system).
No MorphUP packages too. And it's overwrite any Python-2.4.2 installation (but has same features + pygame).

Download it here: http://yellowblue.nerim.net/files/python-2.4.2-mos_pygame.lha

Pygame permits to write in Python every thing that can be done with the SDL library.

MorphOSement votre,

[edit]
The version of python with pygame has been compiled with the SDK of latest PowerSDL (11.6)

If anyone 've some repports, good examples, etc..

Is it just me or does the morphup package not work?

I had trouble with it myself. Where did you tell it to install? I figured SYS: or libs:

Some files are installed in C:, the python.library and all python2.4.2/xxx scripts are installed in LIBS:.

Then the developper's files are installed where you have choosen for Development/Languages.

Inportant note: if you've already installed python2.4 before, the library is overwriten, but old python2.4 is not deleted. Evenmore, you should replace the old C:python symbolic link by a new one, pointing on C:python-2.4.2 binary.

I don't know if MU supports symbolic link.

@Yomgui:

Your .pmi is too old for the current MU-version, it will not install, nor download your stuff. Please open the index with the generator, select "Index/Update all contents" from context-menu and "Save".

Thanks

What!? again!!! eh! NaTmeg, don't update MU too often !

Or make it backward compatible with old pmi.

@Yomgui/Henes:

It is backward-compatible, since now, since 1.0
I don't change the layout again...

I visited pygame.org, but none of the games I downloaded worked.
Could you give me a link to at least one game that is known to work with this port ? I'd really like and give it a try...

@pOS:

Sometime they can work, but you need to do some modifications by hand in some .py scripts.

Example: I don't know why, but I've seen that some game s install their .py files in LIBS:python2.4 and not in LIBS:python2.4.2. So when python is launched it doesn't find them.

Sometime the setup.py script can't work because it uses some hard-coded path like /usr/share/foo to install their data.

Like in C and others languages, most of programmers are lazy.

So is a new pmi ready? I am looking to install the new version still
