[Pysdl-devel] Miscellaneous commentary

[Mark B. <mb...@0x...>]

Sorry for my lack of response the last few days; I've been working on
constructing a vegetable garden, and Vermont soil consists of mostly rock. So,
it's been a long and arduous task, that I'm not nearly finished with, but am
taking a short reprieve from.

I thought I'd indicate our current developmental status:

I've fixed the memory leaks Martijn Faassen pointed out. I would like to thank
him for pointing these silly mistakes out for me, as well.

I've been puttering with the audio system, which is mostly done. All I need to
do is finish the construction of the manipulation/mixing routines, and we'll be
set.

I've also started going through the code and replacing the non-complex
Py_BuildValue calls, with the exact copy-constructor functions. This is mostly
for single integer or string returns, where it's not a matter of adding
complexity to the code, but does turn a very small amount of efficiency.

I've not yet looked into the question of Win32, but from the mail I recieved,
it seems more like an issue with the compilation of SDL, than PySDL. The
initialization routine is a very thin wrapper over SDL's.
I'll see about finding a Win32 machine to compile PySDL on, and see what I can
turn up.
