Making window in pygame using NOFRAME but can't choose where it appears

I'm learning to program, and figured out how to use the NOFRAME flag in pygame.display.set_mode() which I really like, but I can't drag the window now. I can't find any mention of window position in Pygame documentation or on this site.

I just checked my version of Pygame, it's 1.9.1 but my documentation is for 1.9.2 (strange, since I got them at the same time). Not sure if this matters, trying to be thorough. Thanks in advance.

pygame (which use SDL 1.2) doesn't have method to move window.

It has variable which you can use to set position before you use set_mode()

import os  

os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS'] = '50, 500'

but if you what change position then you have to use set it again and use set_mode() again.

import os  
import pygame
import time

pygame.init()

print('pos: 50, 500')
os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS'] = '50, 500'

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((300,300), 32, pygame.NOFRAME)
time.sleep(2)

print('pos: 500, 50')
os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS'] = '500, 50'

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((300,300), 32, pygame.NOFRAME)
time.sleep(2)

pygame.quit()

BTW:

PySDL uses SDL 2.0 which has SetWindowPosition

pyglet has pyglet.window.Window.set_location
