Greetings ...
JFYI ... pygame 1.8 was accidentally released.
http://pygame.org/whatsnew.shtml
* pygame.mask for pixel perfect collision detection * pygame.scrap for clipboard support * new and improved sprite groups, including layers, automatically selecting fastest update mode, and blend modes... * blending support for filling and blitting surfaces * saving surfaces as jpeg and png * buffer access for Surface and Sound objects * numpy support for pygame.surfarray and pygame.pixelarray * PixelArray, which can be used instead of numpy - without the dependency.
* lots of stuff really... but those are some of the nice things.
