I'm having the same problem. Anything I do with a .png file throws an
error. When trying to load a .png picture I get a pygame error saying .png
is an unsupported format:
a = pygame.image.load('mine.png')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in ?
a = pygame.image.load('mine.png')
error: Unsupported image format
When I try to save a file to a .png, I get the following crash error.
a = pygame.image.load('left.gif')
pygame.image.save(a, 'left.png')

Followed by python crashing entirely This occurs when I attempt to save to
both a png or jpg (though I don't recall if jpg is to be supported for
saving in 1.8).
Specs:
Windows 2000
Python 2.4
Pygame 1.8rc(1 and 2)

Thanks for all the testing Kamilche.
I've got it to have that problem on one of my machines now, so I can test
it.
Still not sure what's wrong... but at least I can test it now.
Cheers,
