pygame constants

This module contains various constants used by Pygame. It's contents are automatically placed in the pygame module namespace. However, an application can use `pygame.locals` to include only the Pygame constants with a 'from `pygame.locals` import *'.

Detailed descriptions of the various constants are found throughout the Pygame documentation. `pygame.display.set_mode` flags like `HWSURFACE` are found in the Display section. Event types are explained in the Event section. Keyboard `K_` constants relating to the key attribute of a `KEYDOWN` or `KEYUP` event are listed in the Key section. Also found there are the various `MOD_` key modifiers. Finally, `TIMER_RESOLUTION` is defined in Time.
