Pygame demo raises pygame.error: Unknown pixel format

[carlosgmartin]

Running the pygame demo raises pygame.error: Unknown pixel format. It seems to work if "ARGB" is changed to "RGBA" but then the channels are in the wrong order. Adding a new format cairo.FORMAT_RGBA32 would allow pycairo to interface correctly with pygame.

It works here. Any idea what could be different? pygame version, operating system, processor?

[carlosgmartin]

@lazka I have pygame version 2.0.0.dev4 and pycairo version 1.19.1 and am running on macOS Catalina version 10.15.3. What versions do you have?

[lazka]

Thanks, I can reproduce with pygame 2.0.0.dev6. I was using 1.9.6

@carlosgmartin From what I see this shouldn't have changed in pygame. Can you report it to pygame and mention this issue?

[carlosgmartin]

@lazka Done.

[lazka]

Thanks :) Leaving this open for now in case it's a pycairo issue.

Confirmed to be a pygame issue in pygame/pygame#1599 (comment) so I'm closing this.

Thanks for the report!
