py-game: cannot initialize pygame screen

[boloomka@…]

When I try to initialize screen using "screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))", it aborts with error:

Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Abort trap: 6

I have only simple program with "init" and "set_mode" in it. Note that even pygame examples (from pygame.examples.alien import main; main()) doesn't work. Here is traceback that OS X shows: ​http://pastebin.com/wqck7yd3.

Works for me, though I'm not on Mavericks.

I am seeing this same issue with Mavericks on a multi-monitor setup if I try to my program while the eclipse main window is on my second monitor (not my primary monitor). I'm running via eclipse with the py-dev eclipse plugin. Mac Ports python 2.7

OK. I now have a machine running Mavericks and this works fine with a single monitor. From the crash log it looks like the bug is more likely in SDL or even AppKit than in pygame, but I really don’t know. Maybe ask upstream for help?

[boloomka@…]

Just to clarify, I am not using Eclipse, but I have two monitors too.

Same issue for me. I get the crash when I have an external monitor attached to my Macbook (OS X 10.9, retina display), but when I unplug it it works.

When I run this:

python -c 'from pygame.examples.aliens import main; main()'

Is this still a problem with the current version?

No response; assuming fixed. Please reopen if not.
