1) That's a feature request (something isn't there that should be there), not a bug (something that doesn't follow documented behaviors) 2) If you have a feature request or bug for a 3rd party package, moaning about it here won't do anything. Try asking nicely either on the project's mailing list or on the project's bug tracker. http://www.pygame.org/wiki/patchesandbugs -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
