pygame.event.Event().type == pygame.QUIT, confusion
class, pygame, python
Solution
`pygame.QUIT` is sent when the user clicks the window's "X" button, or when the system 'asks' for the process to quit. If ignored, it can still be killed by the system. It lets you save, before quitting.
Problem
Consider these lines in the pygame loop: ``` ev = pygame.event.poll() ev.type == pygame.QUIT ``` From: http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/pygame.html From what I understand the function `pygame.event.poll()` creates an instance of the Event class in the event module of the pygame package. I. Now `ev.type` is an attribute call(?) but how do I know which values it can have? How can you even tell from the pygame documentation that it has the possibility to equal pygame.QUIT? II. What exactly is pygame.QUIT? How does it get a value? III. `help('pygame.QUIT')` says `pygame.QUIT = class int(object)`. How do you call this construction?
