Re: python pygame keyboard input

I tried a clean (new) user and got some really strange results.

1 - after setting up a new user, I saw that the LC variables were the
same as on existing users - I guess Mageia creates users based on the
system-wide locale
2 - I manually changed all the LC variables in the new user to
en_US.UTF-8 and the program ran properly. 

Now comes the weird stuff :)

3 - I changed the LC variables back to he_IL.UTF-8 and the program
STILL RAN PROPERLY
4 - I tried manually changing LC variables to en_US.UTF-8 on an
existing user but unlike the new user, this time the program did not
run properly.


So, I can only conclude that although the problem is connected to the
locale as you suggested, there's something else going on and I have no
idea what.
