Hi Alex, The updated docs on the pygame website say that numarray is compatible with surfarray, but blit_array does not accept a numarray argument. Is only numeric supported? Here is the original message: Hey all, So I'm just looking for a good way to get pixel access to images in python. Seems surfarray is a great option. The manual states that I can use numarray,numpy or numeric: "Any type of array (numpy, numarray or Numeric) can be used as the input to any function regardless of the array module set." (from http://www.pygame.org/ctypes/pygame-api/pygame.surfarray-module.html) I have chosen numarray and I suppose will eventually change to numpy. but it seems I am actually not allowed to pass a numarray to a surfarray function: >>> type(image) <class 'numarray.numarraycore.NumArray'> >>> pygame.surfarray.blit_array(mysurface, image) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: argument 2 must be array, not NumArray It looks like there is no random_array module in numeric nor numpy, just numarray. So how can I get this to work? Thanks. B. Bogart
