Pygame Image transparencies

-----------------------------------

It's been a while since I've posted for help, but I've run into a problem that seems to be stumping me (I haven't been using python for too long, and even shorter for pygame).  I can't seem to properly get an image to blit with proper transparencies.  I've tried both *.convert() and *.convert_alpha() before you ask.

Relevant code (that is runnable with an example) attached in ZIP folder below.
Any help appreciated.

Try removing the *.convert() altogether. I ran it like this:
[code]img = pygame.image.load("test.png")[/code]
and it worked fine.

Hmm, makes me wonder why everywhere else I see on the web over-emphasizes the use of the convert function.

Thanks for your help!

well I'm not sure if this helps, seems like you've already solved the problem. Anyhow, in my experience with pygame I've used .covert_alpha() and it has worked for me. All that had to be done was make the whitespace of the image transparent and save it as a .png
