pygame error on Mac OSX 10.7.4

**pygame.image.load("ball.PNG") error: File is not a Windows BMP file**

I am getting the above error every time i try to load any image other than .BMP. I searched the internet for a solution and nothing has worked. The SDL_image library is where it should be but python seems to be ignoring it!!

pygame.image.get_extended() // returns 0

I am running python-2.7.3...and pygame-1.9.2pre-py2.7-macosx10.7

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.

I finally got it to work! If you install Pygame for Python 2.7, for OS X 10.3 instead of the newer version that apple has supplied which was: python-2.7.3...and pygame-1.9.2pre-py2.7-macosx10.7...everything works perfect!

install the Pygame for Python 2.7 for OS X 10.3: http://pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.9.1release-python.org-32bit-py2.7-macosx10.3.dmg
