yeah, that's a very cool way to access it. It's what you can do with newer vector languages (eg glsl/cg etc). They call them swizzle operators. Maybe after 1.9.0. As you mention backwards compatibility is quite important... set_length will mainly be for backwards compat... rather than breaking a few games which are packaged in 50 different distros, and then having them not upgrade pygame for ages because it breaks a few games... which is what slowed down uptake for pygame 1.8.1. So this time I'm trying to make sure games/apps included in distros are not broken by the release - at least trying not to break as many as possible. cu,
