[Pythonmac-SIG] pygames event.get() ?

[Wayne Folta]

I just discovered pygames and it's a great module. One puzzler, though, 
for anyone who is familiar with the package on MacOS X. (I'm assuming 
the example works on the PC, though maybe it never worked as typed.)

The issue seems to be that pygame.event.get() is blocking. So the 
little ball moving around the screen only moves when I move the cursor 
around to feed it events. Any insight?

#!/usr/bin/env pythonw

import sys, pygame
pygame.init()

size = width, height = 320, 240
speed = [2, 2]
black = 0, 0, 0

screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)

ball = pygame.image.load("ball.gif")
ballrect = ball.get_rect()

while 1:
       for event in pygame.event.get():   # Here's the issue
               if event.type == pygame.QUIT: sys.exit()

                 ballrect = ballrect.move(speed)
                 if ballrect.left < 0 or ballrect.right > width:
                         speed[0] = -speed[0]
                 if ballrect.top < 0 or ballrect.bottom > height:
                         speed[1] = -speed[1]

                 screen.fill(black)
                 screen.blit(ball, ballrect)
                 pygame.display.flip()
