python - How to make a surface with a transparent background in pygame

Question

Can someone give me some example code that creates a surface with a transparent background in pygame?

Answer 1

This should do it:

image = pygame.Surface([640,480], pygame.SRCALPHA, 32)
image = image.convert_alpha()

Make sure that the color depth (32) stays explicitly set else this will not work.
