python pygame keyboard input

[Shlomo Solomon]

Meir - thanks. What distro are you running?

I can now add that the problem exists on my Mageia 5 and Mageia 4
boxes. But on a Raspberry PI, the program does run as expected. 

I'd appreciate if someone could test this on Mageia and let me know if
this is a Mageia problem, or maybe something wrong with my setup.
