File is not a Windows BMP file - but I have pygame.image.get_extended() = 1












0















I'm trying to download the images stored in a subdirectory called "images" in pygame, but I get the File is not a Windows BMP file. I am running python 2.7 in Spyder on a Mac OS. I have pygame.image.get_extended() = 1 so not sure what the issue is. My pygame doesn't seem corrupted as it can run fine without a png (tried out a different game). Been struggling to figure out a solution. I already tried using .png and .bmp extensions for the images. Thank you

    "I already tried using .png and .bmp extensions for the images" is a bit worrisome - are the images actually in those formats, or did you just rename the files without any format conversion?

  • wow, thank you for letting me know--I didn't know about extensions like that not working. Thanks for the tip, I used imghdr package to check and it was a jpeg after all! I used Preview on Mac to convert to a png and now it works! Thank you again
