​N.B. creating the write struct does not, for example, require being able to 
open the actual file for writing. Therefore, this isn't an IO issue (if the 
error is indeed what it says).

I think this is probably an outdated library. Probably, updating/compiling the 
PyGame version as suggested is necessary.
