PyGame : Info about driver and zbuffer.

Sometimes is very easy to see some info about pygame.
Just use this code:

>>> import pygame 
>>> from pygame import * 
>>> pygame.init()
(6, 0)
>>> pygame.display.gl_set_attribute(GL_DEPTH_SIZE, 16)
>>> pygame.display.set_mode((640,480), OPENGL|DOUBLEBUF )

>>> print "ZBUFFER is:" ,pygame.display.gl_get_attribute(GL_DEPTH_SIZE)
ZBUFFER is: 24
>>> print "Driver is:", pygame.display.get_driver()
Driver is: x11

NOTE: The OpenGL flags are;

  GL_ALPHA_SIZE, GL_DEPTH_SIZE, GL_STENCIL_SIZE, GL_ACCUM_RED_SIZE,
  GL_ACCUM_GREEN_SIZE,  GL_ACCUM_BLUE_SIZE, GL_ACCUM_ALPHA_SIZE,
  GL_MULTISAMPLEBUFFERS, GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES, GL_STEREO

PyGame : Binary bitmate with pygame.

Is a very simple example.
I use this code :

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
import random
import Numeric
from math import *
import random
WIDTH = 640     #width of screen
HEIGHT = 480    #height of screen
def main():
    pygame.display.init()
    
    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH,HEIGHT),DOUBLEBUF,32)
    pixels = pygame.surfarray.pixels3d(screen)
    
    width = len(pixels)-1
    height = len(pixels[0])-1
    
    for y in xrange(height):
        for x in xrange(width):
   a=random.choice([0,1])
   if a==1 : b=(255,255,255)
   else : b=(0,0,0)
   pixels[x,y] = (b)
    pygame.display.update()
    done = False
    while not done:
        for e in pygame.event.get():
            if e.type == KEYDOWN:
                done = True
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

The most important is this line : 
pixels = pygame.surfarray.pixels3d(screen)
I use the random function to select "0" or "1" and set the colors.
Next, I fill the screen by update the screen with new values of pixels : pygame.display.update()
See below the result :
