[PythonCE] pygame / distutils

[René Dudfield]

nice work :)

It can be easier to first try and get the SDL test programs compiling.
 Then try and get a really simple, minimal python extension
compiling... and you guessed it, try and get them both compiling
together :)

There's a few wince folks hanging out on the libsdl mailing list if
you have troubles there.

cu,
