Alpy

Experimental Windows precompiled binary support. Basic support for AllegroGL 0.4.x in an extra module named aglpy. tostring() and fromstring() methods in the Bitmap class for converting to and from raw strings for use with other libraries (PIL, pyopengl, etc.). topil() and frompil() methods for converting to and from PIL images. The Python Imaging Library is only required if these methods are called. All examples have been changed to use allegro_message and be GUI friendly, plus other minor bugfixes. AlpyError has been replaced with the correct AlpyException in the documentation.

This release fixes a docsubst bug in alpy.allegro_id and a bug in
alpy.register_counter(). It adds support to pass Unicode strings to
the Allegro C version. New exunicode_ascii and exunicode_utf8
examples show how to do this. The documentation.txt file is now
fleshed out. alpy_set_alpha_blender() is available as
set_alpha_blender() on the Python side. allegro_message() has been
implemented.

Many documentation improvements and a bugfix for Bitmap.polygon().

More docstrings were written. Alpy now recognizes
the version of the Allegro C library and defines a
different set of global KEY_* values for them.

This release adds many docstrings for interactive help. It fixes two minor bugs with calc_spline() and text_mode().
