Hi,

I just had a look at that and it seems like a valid bug report to me. Obviously importing directsound will not work on GNU/Linux.

I will try getting into touch with upstream on this issue. However, as a short-term solution I am thinking to either remove that code from the package for now or disabling it somehow.

PS: This means I will try to fix this problem in Debian and then get it added to Ubuntu at some point.

I have now reported this problem upstream: http://code.google.com/p/pyglet/issues/detail?id=404

(Hi, I was just passing by; this wasn't the bug I was looking for, but I thought I'd see if Launchpad could import that Google Code bug url. So I added it. Thanks.)

[Juan J. Martínez (jjmartinez)]

I've closed the bug upstream as invalid. The problem *was* in pydoc and it's been fixed, see: https://code.google.com/p/pyglet/issues/detail?id=404#c4
