Bug#1069961: ImportError: cannot import name 'RWops_from_file' from 'pygame_sdl2.rwobject'

[Antoine Le Gonidec]

Package: renpy
Version: 8.1.3+dfsg-1
Severity: important

When trying to run commercial games with Debian-provided renpy (I tried
Slay the Princess and Roadwarden), a crash is triggered before the game
window would be shown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/renpy", line 252, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/games/renpy", line 248, in main
    renpy.bootstrap.bootstrap(renpy_base)
  File "/usr/share/games/renpy/renpy/bootstrap.py", line 250, in bootstrap
    renpy.import_all()
  File "/usr/share/games/renpy/renpy/__init__.py", line 409, in import_all
    import renpy.loader
  File "/usr/share/games/renpy/renpy/loader.py", line 37, in <module>
    from pygame_sdl2.rwobject import RWops_from_file, RWops_create_subfile
ImportError: cannot import name 'RWops_from_file' from 'pygame_sdl2.rwobject' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pygame_sdl2/rwobject.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so)

The import line triggering this error is no longer part of the upstream
codebase, it has been replaced with the following commit:
https://github.com/renpy/renpy/commit/13cfd68491a38ca1d864c6b668b8c527e58923e2

Applying this patch on top of the cuurent sid build does indeed avoid
this crash, and allow to run the games I tested.

I suggest either backporting this patch, or, better, packaging the
current upstream release (8.2.1).
