pygame and python 2.5

[siggi]

Hi all,

when I rtry to install pygame (pygame-1.7.1release.wi n32-py2.4.exe, the most
ciurrent version I found) it requires Python 2.4! Will I really have to
uninstall my Python 2.5 and install the old Python 2.4 in order to use
pygame?

Thanks,

Siggi

For now, yes. This is a long-standing problem with Python really,
requiring extensions to always be recompiled for newer versions. I
usually have to wait about 6 months to a year after any new release
before I can actually install it, due to the extension lag.

Note: You can have both versions installed, just be sure to use the
right one when using pygame (until there is a 2.5 compatible version).
