I did a quick search and a couple of things came up that *might* be related to your issue (I am *not* an expert in programming!). One thing that came up is that if you are running IDLE, which relies on Tkinter, and pygame at the same time, they both try to run their own event loops and this can cause conflicts. Are you starting your pygame program from within IDLE? If yes, you may want to instead start your program from within the terminal window. The other is are you sure that your program is running with the version of Python you think it is? If you installed a later version of Python 2 yourself you may in fact be running an older version of Python 2 with your program, the one supplied originally with your Mac which is the system default. But I am just guessing here! -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
