Hi, if you could help that'd be great. Pygame won't render anything but
bmps. I know absolutely nothing about python; I just started. I'm trying to
run tutorials but they won't work! I think I installed pygame wrong? I also
tried to install PIL but it didn't work. Is PIL required?

So I'm trying to run a game tutorial I downloaded and keep getting

pygame.error: File is not a Windows BMP file

I tried putting

export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes

in terminal, but it didn't help.

I'm on Snow Leopard. I've googled the crap out of this. As far as I can
tell, the problem is usually that the SDL libraries aren't there. But... in
my /Library/Frameworks, I totally have SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf, and
SDL.framework.

I have OSX 10.6.7, Python comes on the mac, so I didn't install it. It's
2.6.1. (I did install python 3.2 but with I try to run things with python3 I
get a symbol not found error for PyCObject_asVoidPtr... whatever that is).
If you have any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
