title: Pygame Error: File is not a windows BMP file
body: <p>I'm having problem following this <a href="http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/intro/intro.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a>. After I run it, an error message pops up</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>&quot;ball = pygame.image.load(&quot;...) Error:File is not a Windows BMP file.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I'm on OSX 10.9.5</p>
  <p>I highly suspect I messed up the installation for all the necessary components, and the my steps are the following when I install:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Delete Python 3 and reinstall Python 2.7 32-bit version (using the .dmg)</li>
  <li>Install the pygame package using the .dmg</li>
  <li>Was asked to install X11, installed X11</li>
  <li>Open SDL framework .zip and drag and drop into a folder in Application/Library</li>
  </ol>
  <p>Did I mess it up? Especially for the SDL? Please tell me the solution, thank you.</p>
  <p>//Tried putting the image file in the same directory; saving the image file as .bmp</p>
