Questions but no big deal - 1. Why doesn't pygame.org have the most recent install files compatible with the most recent python? I ended up finding them here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ 2. Interesting that "3.2" pygames works with "3.3" python on my XP but the Win 7 required the "3.3" pygames. Thoughts?
