Yeah -- I think it would be nice to have an
agreed-upon version of the regular pysdl that's
updated for the current SDL libs as well as python 2
and the mentioned fixes for memory leaks and such.
(seems like everyone's modifying it on their own for
their own needs which is cool, but the official one is
getting moldy) I guess there are a few things in
sdl_ttf that need updating, and the clipping is
different now.  Also I have had problems with the PNG
support that might be a bug in the current SDL_image,
or maybe I'm compiling it wrong. (the old SDL_image
works fine).  The Unicode stuff would be nice to have,
but I'm not clear on how much work it would take -- it
seems like the rest might be fairly easy (judging by
the fact that I've been able to figure some of it out
myself) --Peter
