Personally I think PyGame is a wonderful API for building any sort of
complex animation that is secondary to pure 3D.
For example, building beautiful animated menus, or sub-games, or simply
handling I/O, it fits like a glove.

Yeah I see your problem -
You want to clearly differentiate between 'hardware' events and 'Events' in
general.
And the double-queue method IS probably the purest way, but its double-handling.

The worst case is that you may have to write a C module to handle some specific
hardware interactions - but with the way the OpenGL access from Python is going
that's going to be a rare requirement.
