[Pysdl-devel] Python 2.0 - whither pySDL?

[David C. <si...@te...>]

It looks like Python 2.0 has been released, and I'm wondering how this
will affect pySDL. Mark hasn't been seen for quite a while and it's
possible he's lost interest in the project. That would be a real
shame, but until he re-appears, I think we have to operate as if we're
on our own.

                Current pySDL             We need
SDL                1.1.3                   1.1.5
SDL-image          1.0.9                   1.0.10
SDL-ttf		   1.2.1		   1.2.2
SDL-mixer	   1.0.6		   1.0.6
Python		   1.5.2		   2.0.0

I guess Pete Shinners has been working on a 2.0-compatible fork of
0.0.7; could we see that cleaned up and promoted to 0.0.8? Pete, is
your setup still windows-only, or is your work with distutils
complete? If you need any help fine-tuning the installation, I'd be
happy to help - I've got a dual-boot system we could test on. 

When we do get something worth calling 0.0.8, I can post it to
Sourceforge, where I have admin rights to the file areas. I can't
update any other parts of the sourceforge pages, but at least people
will be able to find it :)

In spite of the license problems, I'd like to get to work with Python
2, and I'm willing to do whatever I can to help. (Hey, I've got to do
something on my vacation :))

Responses, suggestions and vicious personal attacks welcome.
