Hi there, I'm running pygame on a Macbook Pro, running OSX 10.7.5. When I start pygame on the macbook with no USB peripherals plugged in, it starts in about 1.0 seconds.
However, when I plug in my GoldTouch USB keyboard. Don't know if it's useful, but here's the keyboard info from the "System Information" panel. *Goldtouch USB Keyboard*: Product ID: 0x005b Vendor ID: 0x04ca (Lite-On Technology Corp.) Version: 1.17 Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Lite-On Technology Corp. Location ID: 0x06200000 / 4 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 100 *System*: OSX 10.7.5 *Python*: python 2.7 from macports (with numpy & other bits & pieces) *Pygame*: pygame.ver=1.9.1release Any thoughts on what might be happening? 16 seconds is pretty much forever. The entirety of my 'game' is this: import pygame pygame.init() That's it. During the 16-seconds of start-up time, the CPU is pegged at 100%. Eventually, it does start, but something sure seems wrong. Thoughts on how I should attack debugging it if it's unknown? It is the pygame.init() that takes all the time. Thanks, -Caleb
