I've changed the upstream URL to github, GPG verification is no longer needed.

In order to make the GPG verification work, you have to import the key of Marcus von Appen:

gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu F5645D06D1395E36

These warnings appear, because the filesystem API for SDL2 is already included in pysdl2 (see https://bitbucket.org/marcusva/py-sdl2/commits/2d6920dbf2ee51f4f6bdf536a41ca202a5548e0f ) but not in the official SDL2 releases. So for now you can just ignore these warnings.

Oops. Fixed. I required the optional sdl2_image package. Still, the error message that got produced could have been much clearer than "Surface should be a surface". I'll send that upstream. I'm still getting the warnings though:
python examples/helloworld.py
/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/sdl2/dll.py:74: UserWarning: function 'SDL_GetBasePath' not found in <CDLL 'libSDL2-2.0.so.0', handle 14c3520 at 7f8321b545d0>, using replacement

The hello world example isn't running on my machine. To reproduce:

$ python examples/helloworld.py
/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/sdl2/dll.py:74: UserWarning: function 'SDL_GetBasePath' not found in <CDLL 'libSDL2-2.0.so.0', handle 12cef60 at 7fd80b630890>, using replacement

No idea what just happened.
