title: pygame error on Mac OSX 10.7.4
body: <pre><code>**pygame.image.load("ball.PNG") error: File is not a Windows BMP file**
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am getting the above error every time i try to load any image other than <code>.BMP</code>. I searched the internet for a solution and nothing has worked.
  The <code>SDL_image</code> library is where it should be but python seems to be ignoring it!!</p>
  
  <pre><code>pygame.image.get_extended() // returns 0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am running <code>python-2.7.3</code>...and <code>pygame-1.9.2pre-py2.7-macosx10.7</code></p>
  
  <p>If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.</p>
