Hello, there is a bug report asking for setup.py to exit(1) on error.
https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issue/35/setuppy-exits-with-zero-exit-code-when I think is probably a good thing to do. Any objections? I'm thinking of making it fail after writing the Setup file if any of the *required dependencies are missing. * sdl, sdl_mixer, sdl_image etc. It should probably also tell them if the complete set of dependencies are not found. eg, if sdl_ttf is not installed, or portmidi etc. cheers,
