Comment(by macports@…):

 For pygame to work with extended image formats, it is necessary to have
 the SDL Image framework installed. However, in my case the framework is
 installed via MacPorts, but it is not recognized during the setup of
 pygame. To fix this, you can just install the most recent version by hand.
 http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL_image-1.2.10.dmg and
 drag the SDL_image.framework folder to the /Library/Framework folder.
 Reinstall pygame with


 {{{
 sudo port uninstall -f py26-game @1.9.1_2 && sudo port install pyg26-game
 }}}

 and it works again.

 {{{
 >>> import pygame
 >>> pygame.image.get_extended() 1
 }}}

 However, it is not clear to me, why the the initial pygame install did not
 work with the libsdl_image package from MacPorts. Could somebody test
 whether this issue is mine alone or if it is a general problem?
