This pertains to a 64bit win 7 machine.
Just an FYI for anyone out there.

1.9.1 Pygame doesn't work with 3.2 version of python.

Just spent the past 2 hours trying to figure out why I was getting a DLL error on loading pygame.mixer.

Either the Installer doesn't install the DLL's when it can't find a 3.1 version of Python, or something else was going on.

So, if your code has issues loading a DLL, it's probably cause your using a newer version of python. Un-install 3.2 and rummage around on the python site and get the 3.1 version and you'll be right as rain.

(As stated on the Pygame website) Pygame 1.9.1 does not work with the 64 bit Windows/Python combination. Install the 32 bit version of Python, then reinstall Pygame and things should work fine.

It seems as if Pygame1.9.1 doesn't work with 3.2 version of python.
Is it too old?

Christoph Gohlke provides unofficial binaries of pygame for Windows (incl. 64bit) and Python 3.2 - worked for me: http://www.lfd.uci.e...lke/pythonlibs/
