You can't really compare the language C++ with the library Python.
You could compare C++ / SDL with Python / Pygame, and probably C++ would be
faster (but maybe by not as much as you think)... but it would certainly
take a lot more time to write the code.
As to what you can do with Pygame, well
and I would certainly
do something like that in C++.
Pygame is probably fast enough for the graphics, but I was wondering how
performance would be for AI and other calculations.

I'm not worried about events currently being 'slow'. But I would like to

If it's otherwise backwards compatible, I see no problem.

Well, I did some quick profiling, and here is what I mean.
If we say that I have a maximum FPS of 60, and each 'frame' takes just over
1/60th of a second, then yes, I will get 30 FPS as the screen flipping waits
patiently for the raster to get back to the start of the screen.

or not.
Also, can probably just limit the frame rate to 30fps for a lot of games :)
How are you measuring the fps? If you use pygame.time.Clock.tick() it
can pause the game.
cu!

On this machine (Ubuntu 8.04, PyGame 1.7.1), pygame flip() is very slow.
A little demo I set-up and profiled showed that for 610 frames of animation

I know that flip() has to wait for the monitor raster to get to the top

I too would go with just putting all the questions into a text editor. That
way it's easy to edit and easy to spell-check the questions and answers.
You'd need a little bit of code to parse the text files but Python is pretty
good for that. Anything else would probably be overload.

In the pygame docs it heavily implies that, having a loop like:
clock=pygame.Clock()
while(True):
clock.tick(1000/X)
Will let you control the framerate, X being the FPS (I know, dependant on a
few other things). However, I'm getting the opposite effect - a low value of
X gives me a high

I generally make the map file as simple to read and change in a text editor

Another way of doing it is to write a simple map loader

To continue on the subject of full-screen scrolling, it can be done but with caveats. My game scrolls most of a 800*600 screen when moving around the map (it's a strategy thing), but even with HWSURFACE etc.. set, it's a little jerky.
