Pygame 1.9.0 partially builds with Python 3.x. setup.py installs Pygame
without any special preparations. However not all modules will be
included. All SDL only extension modules are available. And some of the
optional modules are as well.
If this is an SVN checkout then the state of each source file can be
checked with the python3 property. Its value is a comma separated list
of tags:
compiles - A C or Python file that will compile without errors,
but may not work correctly with Python 3.
passes - This module compiles and passes the unit tests for
Python 3.
runs - A module or program that compiles and runs without known
problems, but has no related unit tests for validation.
partial_file - This module has a partial solution for Python 3
file support. Python 3.x replaces the PyFile_Type extension type
with an abstract interface and specific implementation types.
Unfortunately it doesn't make any of this directly available
with a C level api. So for now disk file objects are just
treated as another file-like object. This applies to extension
modules that pass open files to SDL in Python 2.x.
partial_unicode - This module has a partial solution to unicode
support. This can apply to file names and stream content. For
Python 3 untested assumptions are made as to which encodings to
use. They may be wrong.
released - This module is considered fully Python 3 compatible.
It passes its unit tests and has been used in the wild for
awhile. There are no outstanding Python 3 specific bugs.
On Windows Pygame uses the same dependencies for Python 3.x as Python
2.6.
